Thread Name: BS: Public libraries and the mentally ill
Subject: RE: BS: Public libraries and the mentally ill
Pandemic if it was a problem throughout the entire world-----which it probably is, to be honest.We have a major problem in England now, since the introduction of something called " Care in the Community " , which was a government euphemism for " We can"t afford, and frankly can"t be bothered, to look after the mentally disturbed, and therefore we will close all the institutions and sheltered facilities, and let them make their own way in the world,as to put them into special care -homes would infringe their human rights " . Since then , quite a few people in the UK have been murdered by maniacs, who are often schizophrenics who have forgotten to self-medicate, and are responding to the voices in their heads that tell them to kill.However, I imagine that the relatives of the dead can draw comfort from the fact that their loved ones died as part of a wonderful new Social Engineering experiment . Maybe when our government has stopped slaughtering people in foreign lands that half of our poorly-educated children can"t even find on a world map, they might have time to review the tragic results of their ludicrously flawed policy regarding the Mentally Impaired , and the catastrophic impact that it has had in the "community ",but somehow I think that they will always be more interested in protecting the " human rights " of disabled, gay, illegal immigrants, than in protecting their own citizens from attacks by lunatics.
