2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Ripples of Hope [View all]H2O Man
(73,524 posts)13. Thanks, Uncle Joe!
I particularly enjoyed Bernie citing the republican debates as evidence that we need to invest more in mental health. It was hilarious, and also pointed out one of the unspoken realities of the day .....that violence in the US isn't really rooted in major mental illnesses. Those people are far more likely to be the victim of violence, than to commit a violent act. Rather, it is being caused by individual's that our society deems "stable," but who have raging personality disorders. And they are all too aggressive these days.
I am thinking of things like Cruz ranting about making the sand glow by bombing communities. That is sick. And dangerous.
