So glad to hear some of your comments. I was pretty stunned that the email was even forwarded to me since the person who sent it knows there is someone in my family who is severely mentally disabled. But perhaps they forgot? I can honestly say that it wouldn’t bother me if one of these homes was opened in my neighborhood as long as it was set up and functioning appropriately. Merry Christmas to you all….you’ve made me feel a little bit better about the world. π

December 16, 2008 at 10:42 AM #316035Allan from FallbrookParticipantCBad: Merry Christmas to you, too.
I’m first generation American, and my grandma left Germany in 1935 with my dad and uncle and to escape just this sort of thing, so this hits home for me. People like this revolt me and, largely because, in their life at large, they hold to being good Christians and accepting of others.
Imagine their reaction if the group home had been for underprivileged black kids. They might have seethed privately, but you can bet your ass they wouldn’t have said a friggin’ word publicly!

December 16, 2008 at 11:02 AM #316059TemekuTParticipantCbad & Allan, I can’t believe someone is so lacking humanity that they are organizing this action. Ironic, isn’t it, that someone so blessed financially to be able live in Carlsbad can be so mean towards those with less, in this case less being less mentally.
I could understand not wanting the mentally ill in the neighborhood. They are unpredictable and potentially violent. I know from experience in my immediate family.
But I also know from experience that the mentally retarded are in general harmless and usually much nicer than most people.
Most of us will end up mentally disabled if we live long enough – Alzheimers and senile dementia are on the increase.
There is a valid issue in the e-mail – the use of taxpayer funds in purchasing an inappropriate home. I understand concerns about lack of accountability in spending taxpayer money; I just wonder if the author of this e-mail also plans to protest the ridiculously expensive, money losing Carlsbad golf course:
