Nevada lawmakers were told Thursday the state needs to upgrade and expand its mental health facilities to ensure that they are safe and that federal funds aren't jeopardized.
The Nevada Constitution authorizes what we used to call "institutions". You know, for children born with severe handicaps, or those unfortunate, few adults who crack up. Like this place. The public role was never meant to explode into a comprehensive, community-based, mental health system. Nevada citizens should not have to treat the human conditions of depression, anxiety, and all the other high functioning non-problems the psyche establishment has hoodwinked us with. If those power-addicted politicians want to turn Nevada into a burn-out magnet, let them appeal to the voters for a constitutional amendment.
The federal government has NO role in mental health treatment. They have NO business telling us how much we should spend on those sorts of programs. Gibbons should tell those Washington bureaucrats to take Prozac and leave us alone. If they treaten to withhold federal highway funds, we should retaliate by imposing on a land and air blockade on Nellis.
