I know. Listen, the problem is that there's a loud lobbying voice against this. Actually, before I tell you that, when you were talking about medicines, I just want to go back and say the picture of somebody sitting and drooling. Let me explain. When my son, he was briefly in state hospital. Then he was stuck in the jail on very cheap medicines for a long time.

When he finally went into the state system, they put him back on a modern medicine, a fairly new one, Abilify. He began calling home three times a day for the short time he could. And he said to me, mom, when I'm on Abilify, I wake up in the morning. I can find words. I want to do things and there's nothing to do. Why couldn't that have been done before he was in the state system?

So it's not at all that the medicines turn you into a drooling monster. Now it's always getting better. Okay. Voices against it. When you talk about people with mental illnesses, there's a wide range, right? There's bipolar disorders, severe and mild.

There's people with obviously schizophrenia, people with anxiety disorders, people with personality disorders, people with depression, severe and mild. And what ends up is they all get grouped together and most of them do not need to be forced into treatment. They don't. And they know it. And many of them have had a bad experience in the hospital.

And some of them, when they get out, they're very disruptive people and they want to protest and complain. Essentially, there are patients, lobbying groups that are a very strong voice. One of their slogans is nothing about us without us. Don't make laws without consulting us. If you're going to make a law... on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation, go ask their people first.

That's how they're seeing it. But the problem is they're not speaking for the schizophrenics. And they specifically are not speaking for my son. They usually say, oh, we don't mean the lawbreakers. We're not talking about them. They can't throw him under the bus fast enough. So they'll get out there and they'll say, Don't do anything involuntary. It's terrible. It ruined my life.
