Around thirty years ago, it was determined by our “leaders” that it was not humane to confine anyone in a mental institution against their will.
Tucson, Aurora, Sandy Hook even going back to Columbine and others all have one thing in common. Mental illness.
Add in Ft. Hood and you find Political Correctness and affirmative Action.

These are just more examples of Liberal policies and their unintended consequences. Just their Chickens are coming home to roost.

...Pushed in large part by the Kennedy's trying to assuage their own guilt over the treatment of Rosemary.

Have you forgotten or were you not informed that America’s institutions had conditions worse than prisons? America has a dark and twisted history with mental illness that is well covered. There is a reason that former mental institutions are considered the most haunted places on earth, as most of them closed due to lack of funds, over crowding, and patient abuse.

Im all for bringing back the institutions but they need to be FUNDED.... PROPERLY. That means more taxes.
