2. sad but true

particulary in Jindal's Louisiana whose top priority seem to shut as many mental health clinics and hospital as he can (and also exclude most medicaid patients from the few services that are available - including substance abuse treatment).

3. Great post

I'm tired of hearing, "they had money, they could have gotten help". If the help isn't there, you aren't going to get it, period.

4. I am so glad we're having this conversation. I feel as if we may actually achieve something good.

I've been going a step further and tying the half trillion per year in military spending to this. After all, there's the money. And we're spending it in a counterproductive way.

We need to change. We cannot wait.
