It just goes back to my favorite tinfoil hat theory that this nation is being currently run by a gang of sociopaths. The stories of abuse in those clinics goes beyond "cult-like." Try "cruelly inhumane torture" instead.
Its one more exampe of a mind set that civilized behavior is for the lesser folks. We nobility do as we damn well please and our proud of our transgressions against the rest of the American people AND the world.
