Convenient, yes?<BR/><BR/>So let's ignore mental health/illness labels, since they've been imposed by those whose self-interest, indeed livelihood, is served by such labeling. Instead, let's leave it up to the voters, constituency associations, parties, etc. through whose vetting the "numbnutses", "nutbars" and "nincompoops" shall be summarily dismissed as unqualified to hold office.Chrystal Oceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171002438761303983noreply@blogger.com
