27. I'll agree with him on one point.

I don't remember who the blame should fall to but turning the mentally ill out to the streets was cruel.

Bradbury: Well, no; that’s another problem entirely, which has to do with our emptying the lunatic asylums twenty-five years ago. It was a big liberal movement, and a conservative movement, too, because we hated lunatic asylums, we hated the idea of them, and we had medicines which we thought were going to work, right? It was an honorable experiment, but it didn’t work. So those people are out there. Now we have to take them off the streets; we cannot leave them out there.
