About this whole mental health thing--

5. That's some hard-core bigotry, right there

Mental illness is rarely severe enough to warrant such a thing. For instance, clinical depression after the death of a spouse is mental illness...but people usually recover. Bipolar disorder is very common among creative people who are harmless (Patty Duke, Robin Williams, Jonathan Winters, etc.).

Lumping mentally ill people who are dangerous into the same category as mentally ill people who are simply suffering...that is cold.

Treatment is the answer, not persecution.
