See, that's what we need -- balance. I think we have good balance here, what
with me thinking that people have a right to decide whether they want to go
to a hair appointment, and you thinking that psychotropic medication is the
best answer for somebody not wanting to be dragged forcibly out of their home
against their will.
I say it that way, Anthony, because there actually are -- you're not going to
believe this -- some people who like being dragged around either physically
or psychologically for weird and masochistic reasons that I, not being a
mental health professionally, do not fully understand.
Thank you...no, really. I mean it. And I thank Andy Sipowitz. I love that
man.
