I hate to be that 'ONE' guy that brings it up. BUT I will anyway! We need mental institutions again. When we did away with them these people went to the streets, they self-medicate with illegal drugs, they have been used as tools for political gain and other monetary reasons. Instead of spinning our wheels attempting to independently house each one that can not take care of themselves. It would be far easier, economically and socially, to house them in a facility that can care for them completely and fully. Now we are facing a mental illness crisis for which may take 20 years to straighten up. This is the Liberal fringe. Lunatics

Your right. Reagan kicked them all out -- stopped "coddling" them. The public mental institutions were de-funded. Cheney was part of that. It was a nasty time when they all hit the streets -- and now it's worse.
