So what? Every minute of the day approximately 20 people in the USA is
a victim of domestic violence. It's not unique to the Palin
family. They are not super humans. It's not right, of course, but to
single out one family's problems for political purposes
isn't right either. If Palin's son is guilty, he should face the music.
If he has military related problems, he should also get help, although
the track record of mental health professionals actually making a
difference isn't all that great. Sometimes I think they can cause more
problems than they solve.

The cure seems to be to drug the person into passivity and that is
ironic since it is usually substance abuse that got them into trouble
in the first place. "Self medicating" is bad but if a doctor
prescribes stronger drugs, it is just "medicine".
