Camille Paglia wrote an interesting article about how people like Miss Cleo are just cut rate psychotherapists for people that don't have money. The end result is the same. Dr. Phil does this shit.
Too true. I was thinking today about the mental health situation in the US. I can't even get a coffee without some schizo harassing me about jesus and they need a dollar for who knows what, etc. But there's also people who have some form of pneumonia working its way through their lungs and can't afford treatment. So my question I guess is, who is going to push for universal healthcare harder and faster: The man dying of cancer or the schizophrenic that harasses you every day you go to Starbucks? Also, one of the more recent and better anti-psychotic medications, I happen to know, costs over 0 for a month's supply, at the dose your average schizo would take, without insurance coverage.
