"Court guardians" kidnap old people, sell all their stuff, doom victims to pharmaceutical oblivion in institutions

Your paranoia in preparing for the future like this makes me doubt your sanity, time to petition for your guardianship…

That was the part of the article that enraged and was frightening, any attempt to fight the process was seen to be proof that guardianship was required. I actually blame the judge more, either he was jaded or overwhelmed by all of the cases coming to him, he was incompetent, or he was on the take. None of those suggest he really had anyone best interests at heart. For all of the US talk of individual rights we seem to like blithely taking them away.
