And a long time ago, ronald reagan cut the funding for the mental health institutions (here in California, at least), so we have no place to put them now. Maybe time to consider repurposing Gitmo?

The institutions were closed and the patients sent back to their communities (ie the streets).

This script has the potential to dislodge that film, but first I need to hear the songtrack.

Because after all, the grip of the "leftist purist extremists" on political, media and economic power in this country is SO FUCKING OVERWHELMING.

On second thought, maybe "oozing" would be a better description of your post.

I mean, sure, we could spend some hours talking about radfems or SJWs, etc., but as annoying as they often are(if many are also well-meaning), they're not the ones with any real significant amount of political power in this country: it's the Religious Far Right and the Teabaggers who get the most funding and promotion.....my god, even the right-wingers amongst the "New Atheists" have more actual political clout!
