Thank you. That was some interesting reading. Never was a fan of “Mother Jones” but their article (1 of the 3) was nice with the timeline.

I don’t know what the answer is for psychiatric patients, hate to institutionalize them against their will and how do we decide whether or not they are a threat to society? I don’t even care at this point if they are a threat to themselves, just if they are a threat to others.
