>>Can we *please* build some mental hospitals and get these unfortunate—and dangerous—mental patients off the streets?<<
That used to be how we handled the mentally ill. The ACLU and their ilk opened the doors and created the homeless crisis.
Yes, but look at all of the jobs that move created. How many agencies have been established to deal with these unfortunate people? If they were all in one place getting the kind of care they need, probably 2/3 of those social workers, et al., would not be needed. And how many organizations gin up lots of donations supposedly to be used for the homeless?

I remember.
