Sorry, but this is an exceedingly arrogant, pompous poster who is very, very full of himself.

I have no great problem with the pharmaceutical industry, which has quantum leap improved medical care, including psychiatry.

This self appointed genius, moral authority, and invidious critic provides nothing of any worth to human progress, in comparison.
