I am like a stuck record lately.  I just can’t let it go.

What counts as mental illness? Rage? Hate? Racism? The inability to tell the truth? Thinking you’re right and everyone else is nuts not to agree with you?

The Oregon State Hospital is about a mile from here. Everyone in there is a criminal who was deemed unfit to stand trial because of mental illness. Criminally insane.

Sometimes it takes years to get people declared insane. Do we have that much time regarding gun ownership?

There’s a man a block away who flies a bunch of flags in front of his house. American. Confederate. Make America Great Again. Defend the Second Amendment. He’s usually sitting on his front steps in a wife-beater shirt and camo pants, watching his grass grow and smoking.

You can be a nut job without being mentally ill. Is he dangerous? I sure wouldn’t cross him.
