Well, bbotc, do you agree or disagree that the idea of rounding up all the crazy folks out there (being kept from "running loose", as you said) doesn't cause some dilemmas?
Who's to say they're crazy? Joe Stalin declared that anyone who disagreed with him was crazy and he sent them off to Siberian mental hospitals. I have a feeling that's not what you had in mind. (If you did, it's adios RougeDolphin.)
What about all the schizophrenics who aren't violent and who don't pose a threat to anyone? Should they be rounded up too, just in case?
What kind of guidelines would you establish (since you brought up the idea) about who should be allowed to run loose and who shouldn't? What is the criteria?
And then, what should be done with them? If they're imprisoned without have been charged with having broken any laws, their constitutional rights will have been violated which I know you wouldn't approve of. If they're given mental health care, that would be socialism.
I agree with you that crazy people pose a real problem for our society, but I do not have a solution for how society should deal with them. You seem to feel that you do. Please elaborate.
