Hello LabLover,

No I wasn't trying to indicate you were outspoken on this subject, in fact you are particularly quiet on it.

I really wasn't meaning you personally. Thats why I put the "please don't take this personally".

The reason I responded is because there was a political incident here over the weekend where an ex politician who is known to have a mental illness which seems to incite him to be beligerent and physically threatening bailed up our prime minister in a most threatening manner bending right over her accusing her of complaining about him now being employed by a television network as a political reporter.

He has always been outspoken about his mental illness and has caused himself more trouble than being outspoken is worth. Not because of the mental illness but because he expects the whole world to revolve around the fact that he has a mental illness he chooses not to take medication for.

That choice has seen him redundant as a politician, and any other job he has tried to hold. He becomes so outrageous in his behaviour that he simply cannot hold any position he tries for. He will not take medication but will not apologise for scaring people and being threatening to them.

I hope this post makes sense of the first one...??
