Mental health

Analogies prove nothing.

With that out of the way, let the debate about who's mentally ill and who's not tip its hat to an historical  observation.

In the fullest flowering of 20th Century tyranny -- Hitler's perhaps excepted -- a favored method of  of human control was to dump inconvenient people into psychiatric hospitals, Lubyankas with white-coated attendants.

The other favorite method of human control was shared by Progressives world-wide, as well as the little Corporal from Austria, eugenics.

Even the Kennedy's partook, sorta, what with having the uncontrollable girl daughter Rosemary lobotomized.
