...The BBC tonight, 28th May, is a shock programme showing how psychiatrists in the UK colluded in locking up teenagers for life in mental institutions for having, what was in 1910-20, an untreatable disease - typhoid. The impoverishment and destruction of these young lives by the institutional might of psychiatry continued until the 1990's when, by then, most of these incarcerated people had died in their institutions after 70 years ...

...the rational members of a group would hold absence of disease epidemics as a 'good', *whether there was a threat of one or not.* So it fits my definition of a common good. The problem is that if a Typhoid Mary willingly continues to spread an epidemic, that's a "clear and present danger" and action taken to stop is is perfectly reasonable.

Manure piles along the roads and in stables produced vast numbers of flies, an important vector for infectious diseases such as typhoid fever. Horses became increasingly expensive, thanks to rising prices for hay, oats and the urban land required for stables. Initially the automobile wasn't much competition for the horse. Then, around ...
