Mind Your Self 3
On... to say am off, and be on the 'morrow. Not one to like saying..., and not do, or explain? Hence the last post and stating 'back on Monday'.

Formerly, when Church and State were allied, people accepted theological justifications for state-sanctioned coercion. Today, when Medicine and the State are allied, people accept therapeutic justifications for state-sanctioned coercion. This is how, some two hundred years ago, psychiatry became an arm of the coercive apparatus of the state. And this is why today all of medicine threatens to become transformed from personal therapy into political tyranny.

'...that in all things God works together with those who love him to bring about what is good'.
The prospect, and overarching hope. Reality..., that can become real to us all: Here for good.
That 's God.
Be on ...next-time to conclude on 'mind our self'.
