Oh, they want *something* to pass (it won't be the magazine size or
scary looking guns). The slippery slope needs grease.


Some think doing something; anything, is better than doing nothing.
Just do something... it has to be done for the sake of the children.

That's called mental masturbation. May feel good emotionally but produces
no effective solution.


Thats exactly what all of the tit for tat arguments are that are posted
in this home repair newsgroup.


The other side is the deflection of efforts from that which might make a
difference.

Realize that under our current health insurance system mental health
services are typically 50% co pay and 30 day LIFETIME limits on services.

I have had better luck getting effective treatment for foster kids with acne
than I have getting effective treatment of mental health issues for those
same kids. (Kids in foster care carry one h*ll of an emotional load. A
load that is NOT addressed by the system with the result that they enter
adulthood emotionally bent.

An no mental health care is not the only solution and for some may not be
the right solution but what we've done before has not worked and more of the
same will not improved the result.
