As for the immigration issue, I guess you're taking issue with the Republicans who participate in the bipartisan Senate proposal? And moving to the beginning of your post, you attribute Romney's loss to a crushing machine? I see it as a rejection of the Republican platform--you lost the youth, the women, the Blacks, Hispanics--a disaster of a strategy and a very unattractive candidate. As for the rest of your post, I'm sorry, but honestly it's no more than a paranoid diatribe, verging on the delusional and swatting at minutiae.(Drink size? Head injuries? Smokers' rights?) On the really, really important issues, it's the Republicans who seek control over our private lives, and are intent on taking away our civil liberties: Women's reproductive rights; marriage equality; privacy in our bedrooms and homes. Sorry, but as I see it you are losing your bearings at this point. You are mistaken Catcher if you think your being disappointed in me is remotely offensive. You keep marching in your "I love the government and isn't Obama awesome" dog and pony show. This girl is way too much of an independant thinker for that nonsense. I prefer tailored clothing to that one size fits all uniform you libs prefer....

Knock on the doors of every law abiding citizen and tell them what they can and cannot own..... You're too entrenched in the government knows best philosophy to think on your own. Too bad the jews didn't own guns en masse in Hitler's Germany. That's the thing, Lyndi. You haven't asked me my views on the matter, you've assumed them throughout, and retorted accordingly. You're extremely close-minded that way. But funny as a bug on it's back.

A Marine vet's letter to Sen Feinstein January 2nd, 2013 Senator Dianne Feinstein, I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government's right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime. You ma'am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one. I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America. I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man. I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public. We, the people, deserve better than you.

Even though I know you are a gun owner imo you crap speaks for itself when you posted that Lyndi and let me quote you "...then you are an enabler in the continued violence and inability to improve on the conditions that allow it to happen.

I wanted to let you know Willie that I've een giving the registry for guns a lieele more thought in terms of a solution rather than what I "don't" want to see happen. When hiring for financial institutions or checking to see if you are a good insurance risk there are several things checked. The end result is a score that qualifies you for the insurance or job or not. Noone including the prospecive insurer or employer knows what made up that score. I think this might work for gun ownership. A person could be scored for mental health issues,(low score for serious higher for less serious) history of drug abuse, criminal record etc. and the score would either qualify them or not to own a gun. Noone would know why not even the applicant if they were turned down. I still don't like it because to me drug abuse and criminal history are not the same as mental illness but it would be less of an issue to get help. And yes that help should be readily available, comprehensive and appropriate. I'm not sure why you think drugs are overused. Things like bipolar and schizophrenia are not responsive to psychotherapy without the drugs. Drugs are definitely overused for ADHD but then it is overdiagnosed as is autism.

I think those things got taken care of a long time ago but I can't put my finger or when or by whom. I do recall that companies wined and dined clients often with including in the health care business. Nursing homes did lavish entertaining of referral sources. That is not done any more and hasn't been for about 20 years.

I wouldn't say I 'like' the idea of such a registry, but I think it's a necessary evil. I also think the necessary privacy protections can be put in place. Maybe overused is the wrong term, because I don't mean 'used instead of therapy'; over-reliance may be a better way of putting it. In the case of individuals with a history of violent behavior, we too often rely on drugs and depend on the patient to take them without adequate monitoring.

In the case of individuals with a history of violent behavior, we too often rely on drugs and depend on the patient to take them without adequate monitoring. I'm going to risk telling a little story. I think I was a good clinician but certainly not one tobe written up in the manuals, so my assumption is that most people acted like me. I had a lady with schizophrenia transferred to me from another county where she was on mandatory shots of haldol. They gave her a bad case of tardive dyskenesia. The doctor where I worked wanted to try her on a milder medication and trust her to take it. The lady was motivated to be well, but something told me to keep a close check on her. I saw her in her home so that was easy to do. Sure enough she became very symptomatic and I was able to get her to return to the doctor that gave the shots. We had to be sort of unafraid and willing to take a risk. I just have to support the mental health system we have to some extent. It's not a bad one. Clients know we care and that we're not scared.

No stranger to selectively edited video clips, MSNBC on Monday aired a misleading and incomplete clip of testimony given by the father of a Sandy Hook victim at a hearing before the Connecticut Legislature. The edited version of his remarks, aired on Martin Bashir’s show, make it appear as if pro-gun advocates maliciously interrupted (or “heckled” as many have said) the dad for no reason as he calmly argued against civilians owning semi-automatic rifles and high-capacity magazines. In fact, the edit was so subtle not even we picked up on it in our original story. And people wonder why most media is viewed as a bad joke these days. http://patdollard.com/2013/01/msnbc-creates-f...

No wonder Insurance rates are up because of Violent mental patient history of violence..., should all these Pyschopaths be locked up before they cause more harm to society. And US Soldiers are pumped up with Pyscotrophic drugs, and some are coming home to roust, the dangers, violence against women and society, and harmful to other nations where our Us troops are killing civilians in iraq, Afganistan, to smaller wars and covert US wars overseas not mentioned by our US faux media Corporatist/Govt impact controls ... What with this ... Wake up time all! i see bad bob will have another druggie moment fit... NAme that song "INjected with a Poison!" Sarcasm!' \BWAHAHHAbahahaha
