What's this?

Yep. Easy to say "lock up the mentally ill".......


Until it becomes your spouse, or your child, or your parents........or you.

Then it quickly becomes "But this is America, and we have rights!"

When you think of all the Americans on anxiety/depression meds, or seeing a psych -- it wouldn't take much for somebody to call the authorities, and create a somewhat-convincing tale of "This person is troubled, and they're a potential danger."
