Anyone here know any who got it or maybe got it themselves.   Would like to hear opinions. 

I just got back my Results from a some psychological tests.  They were not good...
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Will taxpayers such as myself be paying for it?  If so, then no.

You must've failed the English course.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Of course not.  Missouri tax payers are smarter then the ones in Kentucky.

Is MB serious and you are really considering to sing up yourself for shock-therapy?
That's just shocking.

electroshock is controversial, yes.

Mark Vonnegut, son of Kurt, wrote about what it did for him in his book The Eden Express. It ended his psychosis, which he thought was a good thing.

I decided against it.  But I thank you all for your wonderful support.  Especially Cal.

I remember that episode of Cheers when Cliff paid some guy to shock him whenever he was being obnoxious.  By the end the poor man was basically fried. :( 
PDH!

Heard of good results for therapy resistant depression patients, not so much for psychoses. Some people swear by it. Downside seems to be that the effect wears out after a while and you have to repeat the treatment, but each time to a slightly lesser effect.
