I’m not so sure that if I’m the next nut job there that I’d beleive promises made next time. It such a tragedy the way we treat the mentally ill. If there is such a thing as “mental illness”? Fine line between genius and madness. The validity of the “insanity defense”. It all flows from our lack of respect for, appreciation of, the value of life.
