People seem happy, walking around with decent health care and not shooting up schools.  Dafuq is going on?

Some old family friends from my childhood expatted there in the 80's from, I think, Connecticut. The husband got a job teaching bioinformatics at the University of Otago, down in Dunedin. Never been, but it's lovely in photos.

Well no one will sell me a gun.

Something about my file saying, "High risk to others.  Psychopathic tendencies. Fuck, I hope she doesn't read this!"

My last psychiatrist wouldn't let me see my doctors notes even though I have a legal right to see them Thinking

I was told "You don't want to see them." over and over.

I'm not just joking around by the way. This is actually true and actually happened to me.

I have release papers which say I am no longer a danger to myself or others.  Fooled THAT doctor, didn't I?

(not completely a joke - I really do have such papers)

I once believed I was Jesus and could move traffic with my mind. What do I win?
