[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 12528553, member: 6727"] We're talking about a HUGE problem here, one that includes how we treat people with varying degrees of mental health issues, our societal values, our moral values, a political system that needs to work for the good of our country, the increased stresses of life today, our legal system, [B]parent education (there is NONE today)[/B], individual responsibilities, accountability for our actions, respect for our parents, respect for those in authority, [B]respect for each other,[/B] the right to discipline (fairly) our children, our justice/court system, eliminating self-serving lobbies who care little for what is truly best for this nation, and on and on. Those with severe mental health issues are no longer hospitalized if deemed to be a potential threat to the public. Instead, they remain in society and prescribed one or more drugs. If they faithfully take those drugs they can usually function normally or near normally in society. If they don't, they can come crashing down and the worse can sometimes happen. And then you have those who seem to be normal, who are very intelligent, but who are mentally very fragile. This is a huge problem that won't be solved in a day, a year or even a decade IMO. But we most definitely have got to do some deep soul searching as a nation and as a society. [/QUOTE]
