Mariposa,
You took the time to write a lenghtly analysis of your opinion / experiences and what you found here written on the board by other viewers. I think perhaps you took what was being said about past practice out of context, I believe the point here is not that people were tortured so much by staff, or doctors, more-so - that there were people who endured the disease (dis - ease) of so called mental ilness and were placed into Asylums to live out their life in a lock down situation.
We, today, look back and see that much of our acceptable behavior might have warranted that we be placed in an asylum in the past... for things such as - having a child out of wedlock, or being promiscuous, abusing alcohol, even being indigent was enough to place you in an Asylum.... this I believe is where the "torture" aspect is being view from..... these people would not have been insane, but at that time, perhaps only different. (that would be torture) Looking at that as a potential in our own lives is a very scary thought. And,,,.. on top of that there were real abuses - as you stated.....

Lastly, I am one of those whom you are amused by, as I myself have looked at a number of Motts pictures and see what appears to be the image of a person in spirit form..... perhaps you need to look at the pictures again.... What exactly would "Motts carefully going on each picture " acomplish? Have you asked Mr Motts if he has seen anything in any of his pictures? There are a few that he says he cannot explain , such as why a person / spirit is staring through a window in one shot he took and another white image in a window of what seems to be a man with his hand over his brow.....
Why would the fact that everyone else sees these images and you don't cause you to chuckle at Them????

Yes, Well, we all have the same pix.
I'm a NOLA fan and want the best, now.
Hey, Ever have Beignets at Cafe Du Monde?

"All in all its just A.... Nother Brick In The Wall....

Wow, the scratches on the, the mattress, is incredibly moving

The lens distortion makes this look like a nightmare

HVAC! :-) Heating, ventilation, and air conditoning!

I always remember seeing the hideous slime creatures from hell hiding out in these HVAC crawl spaces in all the swell old sci-fi movies, so I am afraid to say that if I were ever trapped in one of these rooms, I would seriously think twice about trying to shimmy out via one of these, because I KNOW what's waiting for me in there. 8`-)

It just made me think of how awful it looked there last week with all the water in the houses. Some of the pix of home interiors looked a little like this. :-(

Yes, our up-to-date safety equipment ought to impress the hell out of people. 8`-)

:-) looks like my bedroom in Fairfield County, CT
Snicker,:
Ah, with all my love.
No One will get that!
Anyway, What's going on with this room. Was the bed really there, or is this staged . My bedroom was blue with yellow, blue pink and green curtains....G'night

Whoa, Mr. Motts: this was a room?? Looks like the end of a hallway! Do tell what is with the window within a window? Era's are different : So what is your take on this?
