Many people are still afraid of anything to do with mental illness. We used to “just put a simple bullet “ in someone’s head or before the 1950’s when we had medication that could help depression and other mental illnesses..we used to “lock away” people who were sick forever.
Now, people can live happy , rewarding lives thanks to good medications and some therapy. Do we really want to go back to the dark ages?
But you are right, it costs taxpayor dollars for those who don’t have insurance..so lets just kill them all or lock them up in prison. ( BTW, it s less expensive to keep the mentally ill in the community than in mental hospitals...that is really why we closed the state hospitals...saving taxpayor dollars.)
Jesus was merciful to the mentally ill and to other ‘defectives” like the man with the ‘withered hand”.
Only the goats were sent over the cliff.
You are obsessed with trying to understand Andrea Yates. I am not in the least bit interested in her problems nor understanding her. She crossed the line when she murdered her five children. I could care less how crazy she was.
You are way out of bounds. Give Yeats the same death sentence as the “non-crazy” murderers.
