The abandonment of the mentally ill and even the denial of this dimension of human frailty is testimony to the fascist culture we are developing and deepening. The mentally ill, like the homeless are dismissed as essentially nonhuman or unimportant. Their problems may be addressed, if at all, in the courts and prisons and the mortuary. They are not zombies and the system is leaving these people to perish on the side of the road like so many of the 99 percent. Occasionally they annoy a President.
