The new Gulag???
The Gulag Archipelago described by Alexsander Solzhenitsyn - in which Soviet dissidents were classed as mental patients and treated with drugs - is frighteningly close in the western world, if the implications of a joint study by the US National Institute of Mental Health and the National Science Foundation are followed through.
The NIMH-NSF effectively announced last year that adherents to conventional moral principles and limited government are mentally disturbed.
Commenting on the "study" and its implications, Beverly Eakman in a just-published article says that forcing psychiatric treatment on those who don't hold to current dogma could be the next phase of political correctness, as once-mainstream thoughts are now being dismissed as abnormal, hateful and dangerous.
