Prior to de-institutionalization a major degree aberrant behavior resulted in commitment to a psychiatric hospital. The mentally ill were dealt with humanely and their sickness was treated, maybe not as well as it might have been, but it was treated. Now, aberrant behavior continues and if the mentally ill aren't living in cardboard boxes and urinating in the streets, they often end up in jails and prisons. Or dead. Right, the mentally ill are much more "free" today than they were in 1963.
Except that they aren't.
Everyone is a "precious little snowflake". No. Some people are truly evil, and some people are bat**** crazy.
The meds they are taking are causing much of the problem.
Meds given to people for such things as Diabetic nerve pain (peripheral neuropathy) are making a sizable portion of the users suicidal and worse.
Every other kid now is said to be autistic in one way or another and coddled and drugged and the drugs do more harm than good. ADD used to be cured by giving the kid a crack in the back of the head with the teachers pointer (this would realign the attention centers of the brain). Now they are drugged and made nuts.
Things were better in the 50s 60s. We have gone astray
“Now, aberrant behavior continues”
Just look at the Democratic Party!!!
