There are many liberal groups who fight for the independence of mental health patients and try to not have these individuals labeled as such.<br /><br />Can we agree to call a spade a spade and put these individuals in a facility until they can get their head fixed and society can be assured that they are medicated and their mental problems are fixed.<br /><br />Sounds like a good start to me? What do others think about this solution?Reagan's Disciplenoreply@blogger.com
