Love it when it snows

• They keep the mentally ill on the streets instead of hospitals in CA ? Huh, sounds like the LPS Act signed in 1967 by Gov RONALD REAGAN.

Right, that’s the mantra of the deluded Left.  Here's the facts.

Revisionist history is nice ... unless you actually lived it yourself.

Thanks for the lesson in history... I was indeed surprized that Reagan had signed that... He was only constraint by political context, after all nobody see him for lead actor role in "One flew over the cuckoos nest" …. And certainly not a thinker in health care... :)

And by the way like climate changes solutions or facts, understanding of (de)institutionalization is complex matter that is better not to deal with in cheap ideological debate...Or in an audio thread about snow … :)


I apologize for my big gran of salt...My best to you and to all...

You'd think they would do something to cure climate change, like outlawing plastic straws. Oh wait ...!!!

Right. You really should use the full quote though.....

There used to be an affordable system in place for the downtrodden and mentally ill people. The great depression dictated the need.

Now there is none.

Hopefully those more fortunate in life never have to walk in the shoes of those less fortunate. Some perspectives might change.

It seems snow is a past memory now..... :)



Thanks mapman for your refreshing lines of tought…. My best to you...
