But then, I'm a Libra moon sign myself... as well as an Aquarian... We as Aquarian's practice friendship.. every Aquarian is first and foremost, a friendly person. There's no possible way to undervalue the profound good that a good atmosphere of friendship offers in a society or culture. But then I'm echoing your proposition.. I'd go a step further and suggest that friendship skills and values are something that could be taught in classrooms and thus learned as skill sets and value formations. which is what you imply. Thanks for being on a healthy track intellectually. its refreshing!

When I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!

I have recently seen a tv ad talking about how important friendship is to those with mental illness. It has been shown in various studies that real, honest human interaction can be better than drugs or other treatments that do not adequately show respect for the mentally ill person's humanity and healing ability. Yet, I do understand we often feel uncomfortable in the presence of those who are not "normal," probably for good reason in terms of what may be a threat to our own safety. Perhaps we need safe havens in all of our communities where people can relate in more meaningful ways than is usual.libramoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077072773341726387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129153260738117116.post-58619149066504010042011-01-12T14:54:00.563-06:002011-01-12T14:54:00.563-06:00In 2001 or 2002 when Fuller Torrey, Tom Szasz and ...In 2001 or 2002 when Fuller Torrey, Tom Szasz and I spoke on National Public Radio, Torrey claimed he couldn't comment on my specific case or condition. This was AFTER dozens of his colleagues in the psychoquack business had solemnly swore that I had the worst case of mental illness they'd ever encountered and I was certain to go about machine gunning others if not "treated". These Torrey colleagues SWORE this in courts, inter alia, under PENALTY OF PERJURY. (In Illinois lying in court is punished by five years of potential ass rape.)These pronouncements could not have been "mistakes" or lies, right? Torrey was WELL AWARE of all this when he played dumb about me. When given a SPECIFIC case Torrey displayed ABYSMAL MORAL COWARDISM and dodged what was right in front of his face in his zeal to promote forced psychiatry on a national media forum I had myself provided to him. <br /><br />I today am free and UNTREATED. NOTHING has changed since Torrey's pals were swearing I was more mentally ill than anyone they'd ever encountered and consequently more DANGEROUS than anyone they had encountered. If, by chance, you are reading this you snivelling punk Torrey, why are you not writing op-ed pieces urging that I be psychiatrically imprisoned or controlled? Alternatively, why are you not writing op-ed pieces marvelling at the corruption and mendacity of your fellow psychoquacks. Or even urging that they be prosecuted for perjury? I think we all know: it is because all you are is a coward unconcerned about justice or public safety and solely motivated by your own narcicism, penury, and hatred of those INNOCENT people you call "mentally ill".C.
