    They work on my mother, but she has the kind of faith in the system I honestly envy. It seems like a much more tranquil existence.

    This is the same woman who thinks the Judge Rotenburg center must not be that bad, because otherwise it would have already been closed down. She just...can't imagine a regulatory failure that big actually happening.
