Yep - it began with any significance with him - you just hit the nail on the head

When it comes to the state of California, I certainly can and did.

He is my favorite President, yes. He is one of my political heroes, yes!

So let me get this straight. The deinstitutionalizations that began in the 1950's happened all across this great land of ours...EXCEPT for California?

RR was a total innocent - it all happened in the 50's

There is no need for me. Haven't you heard? It has gone as good as any way can go!

They voted, we captured Saddam, they now have a constitution!

You don't even know what you're arguing. Deinstitutionalization is a completely different animal from yanking out the mentally ill from psychiatric institutions and leaving them to fend for themselves because you didn't bother to fund the community institutions that would have replaced involuntary institutionalization.

I merely pointed out that 100% of the blame shouldn't fall solely on Reagan...as you would want it to!

And you seem to have no real knowledge of what deinstitutionalization is or what Reagan did.
