Back in the 70's there was a woman named Mary (I forgot her last name) up in N Y who was 'mentally challenged" whoes family attempted to put her in a mental institution. She had enough sense to contact the good old ACLU. They took her case and fought it all the way to the supreme court and  got some rather restrictive rules about incarceration of the mentially ill. Now we have to prove someone is a danger to himself or others.

   In about 2 years the population of mental institutions dropped some 75%. Most were not a threat but just could not function and some could as long as they got their meds. These folks were just dumped out on the street to get themselves a nice carboard box to live under a bridge! When the ACLU saw the result of their disaster they said, "Blame Regan. It happened on his watch."

   Thank yoy ACLU! Please go help our enemies!
