Oh, dme, you poor naive person. Trusting good ol' Mr. Government, Mr. Law and Mr. Court, and or course, Mr. Nice Doctor to take care of you. :(

They only gave lobotomies because it was the best way to help "crazy people"? LOL. The US gave more lobotomies than any other country (though not per capita). One of the doctors who invented the "ice pick" method went completely out of control, trying to break his "record" for giving lobotomies.

Come on! The USSR banned lobotomies in the 1950! THEY knew it was inhumane. HAHAHA.

Also the reasons they had for distributing lobotomies were vague, at best. "Youthful defiance" is one of them. One of the Kennedys was given a lobotomy when she was about 18 or 19 for experimenting with boys.

Plus, in the 50s and 60s, anyone you didn't want to deal with could be sent to the mental institution, whether they were truly crazy or not. Old mothers, out of control teenagers... they were easily classified as "mentally ill" by jerks on a power-kick who had long ago lost any empathy or sense of understanding.

It wasn't always a fair system, and it still isn't, though I'm sure it has gotten better... maybe... anyway, stop being an idiot. The world is a messed up place and not everyone in the world is nice and looking out for your best interests. What I say is the truth. I'm sure you know this, but man, your post sounded stupid and naive. Sorry, man.
