Andrew Cuomo's narrative was that "these people need to be integrated with the
community," and he's probably right about that, but I'm not aware of any
investments being made in mental health clinics or services around the state,
so from a broad view it looks like Cuomo was neglectful & Kathy Hochul isn't
picking up the slack either.

It's part of my own personal agenda to teach Pennsylanian men not to become
fathers in Pennsylvania, unless they're emotionally strong enough to say
goodbye to their children forever, and financially strong enough to say goodbye
to 35% of their gross income for up to 18 years. Kids are great, but they can

Yea like the Brian Laundry (is that his name?) parents. If the media account
is true, they were covering his tracks even knowing that he killed that
adorable young lady. I like parents who are apologetic when their kids offend
or hurt other people. It's sickening when people refuse to be wrong, and it's
menacing to realize that they're passing the idiotic philosophy on to their
kids.
