The obsessions about sex would have been seen as crazy in the older days. Now it’s just “normal.”

Trouble is, he wasn’t complaining about what the lava lamp said. He was complaining about how the lovers looked. And because we are so bleepedly oversexed in this land today, Nobody Cared.

Remember the good old days when someone like this was institutionalized.


Yes.

I grew up in an area that had a state mental hospital (adult) 12 or 15 miles to the west and a state school (children) 8 miles or so to the east.

In the 1970s due to a “consent decree” both were shut down (it took years) and the residents turned out into the community. Some of them were not equipped to live on the outside, but were “mainstreamed” anyway. One I knew of personally (her son was an aquaintance) ended up suicide by automobile.

The process may or may not have been a success overall, but its effect on the community was undeniable.

As with everything liberals do, it was OVERdone but they feel good about themselves so to the devil with “results,” “success” and such hateful conservative concepts.

We did have institutions that held them against their will.

Agreed that some of them were not nice places, and we could do better by them, but the public was safe from their predations and craziness.

Then there is the idiot liberal judge, who says they have a right to be crazy, and free to maim and kill the rest of us, and that we can’t do anything about them until they actually hurt someone
