Maybe you have the training and expertise to conclude that they are able to exercise reason while their minds are disintegrating.<br><br>Does this expertise extend to people with no prior diagnosis? With no prior experience of the symptoms and conditions? Who may not even realize that something is wrong?<br><br>Yeah, the mentally ill have it too friggin' easy. Let's penalize them for lacking the foresight to responsibly deal with terrifying symptoms, while they're lost in their own heads. <br><br>I just knew you were going to post something like this when I saw Tom Hansen's post.

<div><font size="2">At what point when a person sees that not all is right does it
become ethical to seek help. That's what personal responsibility is
about. I hope that the insanity defense laws will be changed to reflect
that responsibility.</font></div>

Noble was found not guilty of two counts of vehicular assault and
two<br>counts of hit and run in Whitman County Superior Court on
Wednesday.<br><br>Judge David Frazier ruled that Noble was temporarily insane
during the<br>Dec. 9 incident, in which he ran over two Washington State
University<br>students with his car on the WSU campus in
Pullman.<br><br>-------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Perhaps
now Mr. Noble can get the help necessary to prevent this from
ever<br>happening again.<br><br>Although Mr. Noble's temporary loss of
self-control was the major<br>contributing factor in this incidents, I still
feel that preventive<br>measures should have been taken to avoid this from
happening.<br><br>Seeya round town, Moscow.<br><br>Tom Hansen<br>Moscow,
