You are one of the very first people Bush should force-screen for mental illness.Is this a new proposal that has been put forth by the Executive branch?
Gee, a clear reading of the authoratative material close to this subject reveals that this program, as proposed by a research/planning group/board has as its interest young school age children who exhibit behavioral problems on into puberty and then adulthood ...
Are you making yet another 'stretch' of the actual, bonafide, observable and penned truth in order to hyperbolicly arrive at some sort of 'argument' again?
I take it you've never worked (or visited for a period of time) at a so-called 'mental institution'; an institution where some number of today's mentally ill - sometimes treatable - are usually 'wharehoused'; and this long-range planning proposal seeks as its goal the return of these people to society/the community - with appropriate medicine/medical care AS OPPOSED TO virtual incarceration at a STATE HOSPITAL for the remainer of their lives here on earth.
See, I worked my way through school working at one of these kinds of institutions; I have more than just an "outsider's knowledge" of the conditions, the practices/what 'goes on' there ...
People in the nuthouse may be bad, but it is less bad than a nanny state.
