re: #19 calochortus

I’d also like to stop the war between “Reagan emptied the institutions because he was cheap and heartless” and “The ACLU got crazy people turned loose because they’re evil.” Could we just maybe do the best we can for our citizens whether they are mentally ill, developmentally challenged, sick, whatever? I’ll help support that because 1.) we all end up paying anyway and 2.) I’m really happy that I don’t need that help myself, but I’d like to have the safety net there just in case.

Sure. Sounds good to me. I don’t wish to relive past battles. I wish to create a better future. We can learn from the past of course too.
