Thread Name: BS: Public libraries and the mentally ill
Subject: RE: BS: Public libraries and the mentally ill
I think in our haste not to "discriminate," we've lost track of the fact that people can't live together in society without some very minimal standards of conduct that everyone must obey if they're to be allowed to walk around loose. I don't know what the answer is for those who can't, or won't, obey those minimum standards, but we have to find one, and it has to be better than traditional jails or "insane asylums." Otherwise, the society won't survive.

That being said, I'm looking forward to being labeled a victim of senile depravity rather than a plain old churl and slob. It sounds much more sophisticated, and I can sue for discrimination anyone who complains about my behavior.

Peter.
