Somewhere in the labyrinth of my electronic filing system I have a couple of URLs about a proposal (last year I think) to add "political paranoia" to the DSM as a distinct new syndrome.  This would mean it would be a diagnosable and druggable syndrome to doubt the official government story on anything... to assert that the 2000 and 2004 elections might have been rigged in selected states, for example, or to pick holes in the official story about 9/11.  Solzhenitsyn would have felt right at home, I guess... clinical psych as an organ of State control...

The difference between theory and practise in practise ...

You've got to be kidding, but the voices in my head tell me you're not.

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman
