My problem is, some people with opinions like this have power, and will try to use it to take away our rights. Look how many people believe you should be forced into treatment or to take medication (never mind the side effects, never mind not knowing what these pills and meds may do to us long-term, never mind what negative effects they have on us long- or short-term; they don't have to live with it, so who cares?). Many believe we need to be "protected" and "controlled," even if we've done nothing wrong and have shown ourselves capable of living responsibly, even if we have problems to deal with sometimes. Many want to deny us things, based on what we might do (this is a THOUGHT CRIME!!! In the US, we're not supposed to be able to remove someone's rights and freedoms based on what we think they might do!!!).
