Re: Shrinks as Narcs for the State

(sorry, running behind on mail)

(Many think this is as it should be. But why is this so? We don't require non-doctors and non-shrinks to report such threats. If Joe Cypherpunk tells me at a Cypherpunks meeting he thinks Janet Reno should be blown up on her September 7th visit to San Jose, I am under no obligation whatsoever to assist the police in verifying what his real intentions are, or of cooperating in any way. So why should a psychiatrist become a secret agent for the State? We live in a police state.)

Actually, if you think the person _will_ do it, I believe you are legally obligated to report.
