I mean doesn't everyone really pose a risk of danger to themselves and others?
isn't it just a matter of degrees? and if he was mentally ill do we punish him?

Sixty-nine percent of children who took Zoloft for 10 weeks showed a substantial reduction in symptoms, compared with 59 percent who took dummy pills."

doesn't this mean we should try dummy pills on everybody first?
then the 10% that don't respond...they get zoloft...

I know a tyrant is gone and all of that, but whether it was our duty to go do that, well, I haven't figured that out.'"
