Re: Reversing The Stigma Of Mental Illness

I'd be willing. But I don't want norms to be involved. I really don't think it'll do much, short of a MASSIVE strike on our part. I'm talking NO WORK from ANY mentally ill person. None. The damn norms use us as their clowns and indentured servants, so let's let...
