As to the "mentally ill," such a finding should be in a court of law, preferably by jury.After seeing what juries do in some malpractice cases, I wouldn't want to trust my fate to a jury.

I think that in a case deciding whether to commit a person the tendency would be to avoid adverse judgment, particularly where a reasonable doubt standard comes into play.

Have YOU got 'deep pockets' and have been demonized to the point that your mere existance is cause for a bunch of random people to feel justified in stealing a lot of your money and giving it away?
