He helped save my life. I don't care what other people may say about "forcing" people to take meds, the man was a hero. I was psychotic when I starting seeing him and he suggested medication and eventually got me to stop using drugs and alchohol. Since then I've been healthy and able to live a full and normal life. I don't mind having to take medication, one day at a time, to keep me from going back to the hell I was in when I first met Wayne. He was such a good doctor. I could call him about any issue, any time, even if it was a ridiculous thing and he always got back to me or talked me though it. He will be remembered forever.

The poor and outsiders of all types are always scapegoated and persecuted by those who have more choices. I think few other countries in the world have ever been more hateful towards their poor and non-conformists than the United States is today. If there is any kind of divine justice, I think most of those who are in charge of things in the United States today - and in a position to shape public opinion - will face the same kind of hell that they would like to consign all those who disagree with them to.
