[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3119055, member: 13624"] Good points. I read his interview over on the Gayly Oklahoman (linked earlier in this thread). Dude was clearly off his rocker, but I didn't see anything in there I haven't heard from Phred (Phucktard) Phelps's troops. Should they all be locked up too? It sucks that we have such people running around, but at what point do we draw the line about "danger, lock him up?" Liberty is a scary thing. It entails danger. Who makes that call? Remember that "mental issues" were a common excuse in Communist nations for locking up dissidents; who gets to decide what is acceptable and what deserves imprisonment? N.B.: I'm not saying this guy was okay in the head; clearly he wasn't. I'm just posing the question of who writes the standards, who gets to make the choice, especially in such a soft, squishy science as psychology? Chemistry and physics have concrete answers, proven by mathematics; psychology is a matter of opinion. Educated opinion, surely, but still a judgment call. So, as someone who is deeply interested in personal liberty, where do we draw the line? [/QUOTE]
