2. My thoughts are

There will be some legislation introduced at some point that requires persons receiving SSI or SSDI for a MH diagnosis to be forcibly medicated regardless of their wishes. Non-compliance would mean you lose your disability benefits.

3. Whoops! There goes another presidential candidate.
I had just started to get into him after the North Korea thing. Now he just fell back to right above Hillary. Yes, that does include Mike Gravel. Sorry. Back to Obama or Edwards for me.
