[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not that we need to have them committed -- it's that we have to pay for them. When Reagan was elected president, the streets became flooded with the mentally ill that society no longer wanted to pay for. You can thank Ronald Regan for ruining our society by pretending that NOT caring about others was a virtue rather than the other way around.[/quote] Yes, we need to have them committed. Sometimes families beg for this, but the state institutions closed under pressure by the ACLU. Each person could be appointed a guardian to watch out for abuse, etc. but it is not compassion to leave people in this state. And, yes, I'll say it... the needs of neighbors and society should be a factor.[/quote]
