Prejudice

About the blog 

   This blog post is about prejudice but maybe not the type you’d expect.  This is actually a call to ban the casual use of nursing homes or "extended care facilities" of that type.

   Placing a person in a facility of that type is scheduling the deterioration of a mind.

   As long as a person is willing and able (the bodies limits don't mean the same as they once did) to continue working... that opportunity should be provided.  And things that are strictly work shouldn't be placed out of reach either.

   Any society where a person can be locked up out of public sight isn't just criminal.  It isn’t just negligent either.  It’s the worst possible combination of them both.

   And any society that would turn its eyes away from that deserves the worst possible sentence.

   A slow decay to irrelevance isn’t enough to describe it.

   Instead it should be a "slow fade beyond awareness".
