Hanging Over ALL of US


You know, as horrible as the problem is in New Orleans, something tells me the crisis in mental health care isn't just limited to the Crescent City, and that additional catastrophes might well be just one disaster away, natural or otherwise almost anywhere you go in this country.

After all, it's not like there's a whole lot of profit in such enterprises--well, unless you secure a cost-plus government contract--and so I'd guess that mental health care/clinics have been pretty much stripped to bare bones, despite the fact that such facilities, and their quality, speak volumes about, well, just exactly how civilized we actually are...

Oh, and slightly off-topic, but not really, I see, also from First Draft, that Alphonso Jackson is, you guessed it, blaming the victims in the subprime mortgage crisis, showing, as I noted in comments, at least some consistency in wingnuttia: they blamed the victims of the federal flood in New Orleans, and are now doing the same to those drowning in a sea of red ink...
