A long, long, long time ago (A little bit of humor) I was a New York City Taxi Driver who was extremely good at observering people which I used to stay alive buy being very selective in who I picked up off the streets. Now if any of you know N.Y.C. you will think that this selective behaviour meant that I did not pick up minorities. The reason that I did not pick up people was because I could observe them for a few seconds before they got in my taxi and tell 90% of the time if they were a pain in the -A..- or they were a threat or dangerous. Now you are going to say, what the hell does that have to do with the mental health industry, it means that I am real good at spotting human beings that are having problems. PS, I drove a taxi for over 10 years and never had a real problem with a passenger and was never robbed or killed.
Now I can jump ahead 20 years and start to explain my involvement with the mental health industry or I can describe my years as a -Taxi Leader- and ran huge demonistrations against New York City with thousands of immigrant cab drivers. We were getting killed and robbed on the streets and the people and the politicans did not care until we stopped the city traffic from moving. PS, Both of these examples and their ramifications directly affect the mental health industry, so let me know how you want me to continue this blog? Taxi leader and or trying to help -You- with mental illness?
(You will get how to help you with mental illness but later in the blog or now without the taxi leader part)...
