And I have to wonder about that persons mental health Gary.    A very good friend was a psychiatric nurse in a Kansas City hospital.   It made her furious when they would take a person in crisis (say suicidal), but were forced to release them within 24-48 hours even if the entire staff would vouch for the long term mental illness.

Fear of institutions, partly by liberal ideology, has left millions of mentally unstable people on the streets of American cities nationwide.   Of course on the Republican side, one's mental illness is a personal problem not a social one.   It's not the Republican party's concern.  (anyone feel free to show me a Republican 'plan' for mental illness treatment)

Partisanship creates huge barriers to rational problem solving.
