I think those good folks at the Vermont chapter of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill need to take a chill pill. /images/graemlins/crazy.gif
Depression and other illnesses are very commonplace in today's world. I don't think a little bear made in jest is that bad.
Instead of protesting a bear with a straightjacket, there should be more protesting of a white house nazi whose father was instrumental in the wtc attack.
