- The mental healthcare system with their pills and potions, ehhhh.... not so much.

I worked in that system many years ago, and I know what they do to people. I'm not saying that there isn't such a thing as mental illness, but I am saying we can't cure it they way we're trying to with the mental health system in its current form. The same applies to the overall healthcare system. What little good they may be, is far over-shadowed by the terror they imposed and permanent damage they do. IMO.
