I have asked this question before; what is the next article that the Globe publishes about mental illness going to say?
"We at The Boston Globe hack the phones of anyone whose privacy we feel like invading. Then we publish gloating references to our criminal invasions of people's privacy and the other problems that have caused them for years at our front page. We also promote voyeurism and involuntary pornography so that our targets and many other people are repeatedly victimized. Then, when a target is called a crazy liar for saying that she's being victimized by voyeurism in her own home, we laugh about it and do nothing to corroborate to anyone that she's telling the truth, and when she's homeless again for the 3rd time in 7 years, we continue to attack her about everything that we have done to her as if she is the criminal."
That's not what you'll say, is it? Are you going to publish another article that says nothing about stigma, that says nothing about discrimination, that does nothing other than to reinforce the public misperception of people who have psychiatric histories as being dirty, dangerous and untrustworthy, extolling the supposed virtues of psychiatric medication, saying nothing about the side effects, saying nothing about coercion, saying nothing about the mental and physical abuse that is inflicted on people who have a psychiatric stigma for their entire lives while they and everyone else are told that they're the problem?
