    Why would "mental health advocates" want to close treatment centers.

    Or let people who are disturbed running around without medication or therapy?

    Those aren't mental health advocates.

    Those are republicans !!

    Nowadays our jails and prisons provide "shelter" for our mentally ill.

    Oh, ok. This is an area where I don't know as much as perhaps I should... The best approach regarding predators like wolves, polar bears, sharks, etc. I think they are all magnificent beings, yet don't want to meet one in the alley behind my cottage whilst taking out the trash.

    I've never hunted, but have lots of friends that do. Hunters generally seem to be more involved in preserving the natural world than others are.

    Well... Reckon I'll play it safe and hunt me some acurns, Riley.

    Just find balance in everything, I say.

    I really ain't into the huntin deal, so I'll hush up there.

    I did get the front yard mulched for the landlady though. Free mulch from the Island's Eco Center. Saves water, looks nice, manages weeds without Roundup, etc. Did my little part to make the Earth nicer, and will get a break on next month's rent too.

    Peace y'all

    Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.~Matthew 24:35

    they didn't like that people could be forcibly committed and held so they got those rules relaxed and of course the people walked out of treatment.

    Ok, but many Psycho Wards, or whatever the proper term is, were also closed due to funding cuts.

    They still can involuntarily commit these days. It's just more difficult, sort of....

    Really, man, it's sad. Some of these in jail are completely non-functioning and don't even understand what is going on.

    Ha, I bunked next to one such feller. Smelled fantastic. If you guys have never been to jail I highly suggest you give it a try

    Get your license suspended and then drive up to a police and flip them the bird......

    Don't flee. That's a felony.

    Some states you might have to do this twice or thrice before you see a 30-day sentence to your county lock-up.

    Really, you guys will love it. What's the big deal? Especially if you live in a sissy state like Virginia or North Carolina. No Ambrose Harris's in Virginia..

    Experience all life has to offer.

    Experience everything life has to offer.

    Zero, you avoid this, as those Wilmington kids have been acting a mite crazy these past few years.

    Did you guys know that Wilmington, DE is a pretty rough town?

    And most of you on here never even heard of Delaware......

    The prisons are definitely a revolving door. Here is some info about good ole Wilmo

    1. Wilmington, Delaware
    A short drive from South Philly and Camden and midway between New York and Washington, Wilmington managed to snag the number one spot on our list for highest rate of violent crimes per 100,000 people. And while the overall state of Delaware ranked moderately well in the peace index (which looked at factors such as police per capita, percentage of population behind bars and access to small arms), Wilmington came in the top spot for sex offenders per capita.

    Well, I am still say that they cut funding not because of the lesser amount of Involuntary Commitments, but because that's what those types tend to do.

    That's what I say.

    well Reagan certainly did cut that funding but it was because the numbers of patients were down.

    Well, that's so Patty Reagan didn't get all One Who Flew Over The Nutty Nest.....

    The Reagans used astrology to run the country.

    And Nancy failed me....

    I tried to say no, but I couldn't.
