It’s not unlikely that 75 years ago someone doing what he has has been doing would get involuntarily committed.

Budget has a big part to play in this.

We're galloping to further and further away topics from the original discussion... if he were poor, and it was 75 years ago, it would be not unlikely.

I disagree with this assertion, too, BTW, but it's so far from what I set out to discuss that I'm not too interested in responding further.
