Wake up call! MH should be a priority right now....after seeing this plane hijacked

This is ONE example of ONE person in ONE profession that had the capability to destroy many other people due to mental illness. If the stigma fades and the ability to seek treatment was easier, we could be a better society.
I'm not for taxes, but feel this one needs to pass with flying colors. Everyone should be telling their family and friends to vote yes to this one particular bill. For $18/year (per family) you could be helping out a friend, neighbor or coworker and never even realize it. VOTE YES FOR MENTAL HEALTH BILL (only $18/year).

Edited to add that Yes, I do think we need more mental institutions opened. I also believe some individuals should be placed permanently in these places, others can go for short term "treatment" and be released. Some families cannot safely take care of these individuals no matter how much they try. Where are we going to get the money to run these "so called" mental institutions that were closed by Regan without assistance from the government? Yeah, I'd definitely like to see them take the tax dollars from other places but if we have to wait for that, we may be waiting a very long time. I personally would be willing to pay my $18/year to contribute to a mental institution that family members would know their loved ones were safely housed and no longer a threat to themselves or our community.

And don't tell me to put this on the politics board. I don't venture over there and am specifically talking to the non-political people.
