John Pinkerton
FameRank: 3

"John Pinkerton" was a Scottish antiquarian, cartographer, author, numismatist, historian, and early advocate of Germanic peoples/Germanic Racial superiority/racial supremacy theory.

He was born in Edinburgh, as one of three sons to James Pinkerton. He lived in the neighbourhood of that city for some of his earliest childhood years, but later moved to Lanark. His studious youth brought him extensive knowledge of the Classics, and it is known that in his childhood years he enjoyed translating Roman Empire/Roman authors such as Livy. He moved on to Edinburgh University, and after graduating, remained in the city to take up an apprenticeship in Law. However, his scholarly and literary inclinations led him to abandon the legal profession. It had been during his brief legal career though that he had begun writing, his Elegy on Craigmillar Castle being first published in 1776.

The regional centers are our backup.

At the 15th he led the crowd in a chant when I was teeing off. But he was very gracious and affable. He's just a regular guy, not pretentious at all.

What they said in that bill is we're going to close the regional centers and we're going to establish community-based services.

At least Nebraska is doing that. Nebraska does show some common sense.

There is about to be a big calamity if something isn't done soon. Without the regional centers, we are dead in the water.

I tell people it's like playing golf in the middle of the Super Bowl.

They haven't opened any beds to replace the regional beds that I know of.

To be truthful, I don't even know why it's so necessary to close the regional centers. It's going to end up costing us more money to close them than it would be to keep them open.

The nation is turning its back on people with mental illness right now.
