Tristan Ewans, i don't see any practicality in any of your policy suggestions. the mentally ill were better off in the 1950s than they are now. What exactly would be wrong with building a commune for all people on welfare to live in? with caring concerned people like you working & living in it with your families & available or on call 24/7/365 to "manage" the facility.

//How about governments stop manufacturing mental illness every day.//

Governments manufacturing illnesses? Presumably this occurs in the same lab that invented HIV. ROFLMAO. I think I've just figured out how to solve our medicare problems: the government should shut down their clandestine disease manufacturing lab and use that money for medicare. Of course, this is all based on the crazy, paranoid belief that our Government are secretly trying to make us sick.

Take a off your tinfoil hat and have glass of fluoridated water, imarightwingnutter. Our government are not trying make us ill. They go to great lengths to implement public health policy to keep us alive. And history shows that when Governments do want to kill their citizens they're generally not so secretive about it.

No they weren't. The development of psychiatric medication was still in it's infancy, and there was much greater social stigma. These days we have much more effective medications, and much less stigma. From most people, anyway.

Dear Toni Luddite, let me guess? you have never heard of the PC thought police & their relentless abuse of any of the sheeple who don't behave?

What? Are you on drugs, dude?

Toni Lavis, why do you hate the workers? why are you helping the 1% to steal from the 99%?

//Toni Lavis, why do you hate the workers//

I am a worker, you raving lunatic. And I vote Labor. Get off the ice, dude. It's not doing you any favours.
