Beating the devil out of the person

Several weeks ago I was going through numerous books in order to see what I'd want to keep, and what to put into a garage sale (aka "redneck outlet mall"). And while glancing through one book I came across a photo that definitely caught my attention. So I scanned it onto my computer, did some touch-up work, and then typed up part of what was said in the description of the photo underneath the photo.

Take a look at this photo folks, and then tell us what you would do if the guy with the stick in his hand was somewhat like you doctor; or if either of the other two people were someone you knew.

p.s. click on the photo to enlarge it.

Sadly, I've heard that some people still think like that. There is a real stigma attached to mental illness, and indeed all illnesses which are not easily placed into simple catagories or which are hard to understand.

It's certainly an interesting picture.

I still know some people like that, too, unfortunately, which is why I don't talk to them anymore.

It is nothing but sheer STUPIDITY and IGNORANCE.
