Hi Grrrilla,
Yes, I have alot of sympathy for people convicted in prison. I don't believe there is much, if any, difference between them and me--except maybe I am a small woman and, when not crazy, with a very gentle temperment. I also live in a country without guns. One day, I imagine, humans will look back on our society in this century and feel ashamed as to how we treat these people. By this time, of course, there will be a cure for all mental illnesses.I am not afraid of hurting anyone mostly because my rages usually occured when I was alone or they were directed at my boyfriends who were much bigger than I am, and they seemed to be able to hold their own against me. 98% of my rages are psychological, not violent. And mostly, I am not afraid of hurting anyone because they don't seem to happen anymore--well not for the past 2 years or so.
I always thought Kay Jamison was kind of pollyannish anyway,
Janice
