Who determines who's sick enough in the head to be committed? I've known probably half a dozen people over the course of my life who have very similar personalities to this guy, and none of them ever did anything dangerous. What's the criteria for being committed and who sets the rules? Anyone who's overly shy, or doesn't have a lot of friends gets committed? There are so many things wrong with that idea. It wouldn't work.
