Interesting perspective.
I can't agree with the sweeping statement about the "mentally ill". The term is too generic and encompasses a wide range of conditions. A person with mild Down's Syndrome isn't the same as a person with severe paranoid schizophrenia. It's not right to treat them the same and just lock them away somewhere.
