In the early 70s, when Reagan was governor of California. I remember, as if it were yesterday, my boss (the chief psychologist of the state hospital where I worked, talking about Reagan closing mental health institutions in California--pretty much opening the doors and proclaiming all the patients cured. My boss said about Reagan, "he thinks you just shouldn't be crazy." My boss's remark has stayed with me all these years. Hearing of this latest massacre by someone obviously insane, brought it immediately to mind. Reagan's brilliant idea in the 70s caught on and here we are today, hardly surprised when we have news of a murderous rampage. Thanks Ronnie and all your ilk.
