Second, he assumes Szasz and a few others had the power and influence to abolish commitment. Where does he get that idea? Szasz was never accepted into the mainstream.Sheldon Richmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672237234580563637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077444.post-39650597623340812262007-04-23T08:43:00.000-05:002007-04-23T08:43:00.000-05:00From the Wall Street Journal.Bedlam Revisited Why ...From the Wall Street Journal.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110009977" REL="nofollow">Bedlam Revisited <BR/>Why the Virginia Tech shooter was not committed.</A><BR/><BR/>Takes a shot at Thomas Szasz.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077444.post-77905064726599664882007-04-22T14:36:00.000-05:002007-04-22T14:36:00.000-05:00What most gun control advocates fail to understand...What most gun control advocates fail to understand is that most dangerous incidents are over in seconds.
