I proved you wrong about that.

And now your spinning it!

No - I said that it had nothing to do with RR's choice, which you said was merely a continuation of that. But and in any event you are wrong on both counts.

And you do realize that Reagan began dismantling psychiatric hospitals in California well before he became president, right?

What fact was that - you have said none.

So now you are going to sit there and ignore the fact that the epidemic began when Reagan was still a B movie actor in Hollywood!

I never said anything about what Reagan did or didn't do whenever he took office.

Oh - hey now - it was all some ficticious thing that started in the 50's and RR was merely a pawn of the powers that controlled that

1950's - IT STARTED THEN!

You said I couldn't prove it!

I DID!

What shocks me is not that you didn't even know that little factoid (although that would be enough); but that you can't admit that you were wrong about it!

I didn’t' even bring it up!

I just simply pointed out that the epidemic didn't begin when he took office...it was there LONG BEFORE!

And you're going to ignore the fact that he created those problems in the state of California by kicking the mentally ill out of hospitals, under the pretext that they would be committed to community facilities that were, in all actuality, never funded, therefore leaving all of those evicted from the hospitals out on the streets?

And you are going to ignore the fact that it didn't start with him. But it was a problem that began long before he was governor.

No, of course not!

Does the entire fault lie with Reagan
