Brave New Orwellian World

That the Bush Government stands for a new kind of fascism-in-disguise (well - not really that much disguised) has been clear for a long time (my Grandma, who lived through the German fasciscm, said early in the W era that "this man is like Hitler"), but just how far it goes is new even to me. I just stumbled over an article in one of the very, very, few independent news sources of the United States, the Baltimore Chronicle:
 
"President Bush's little-publicized New Freedom Commission on Mental Health has proposed comprehensive mental-illness screening for all Americans. If carried out, no adult or child will be safe from intrusive probing by "experts," backed by drug companies."
 
This is the most scary thing I have heard in a long time. The article also mentioned that in America it is possible to sue parents for child abuse or neglect if they refuse to have their child poisoned with psychotrophic drugs. How much totalitarian can a society get? What can be more totalitarian than refusing parents the right to decide about the well being of their own children? I used to consider the US as my 2nd home. Nowadays I consider it simply SICK. It is a SICK, SICK, SICK country, and it tries to sicken the entire world.
 
Here goes the entire article of the Baltimore Chronicle: http://www.baltimorechronicle.com/100704SheldonRichman.shtml
