Carl,
Thank you for posting this. I hope the death of my son never becomes irrelevant, and that even more so his death can work to change the plight of hundreds of other mentally ill individuals so that they are allowed to get well and retake their places in society, and not be placed under the dictates of people like Drs. Olson and Schulz and the pharmaceutical companies.
