You are being auctioned off in Oregon because you are considered insane. There are no resources to pay for your cares since your family cant do it and you dont have property to sell. The territory wants you off their hands as quickly and cheaply as possible. So you and your care are going to the lowest bidder. T his was a practice that emerged from the organization of the Oregon Territory in 1843 at the fledgling Willamette River community of Champoeg.

M y metamorphosis came about through novel experience a lot of it and being cut off from my prior experience. This was 36 years ago, and Ive lived longer since then than before the change. But I am still periodically digging out remnants of damaged thinking I acquired during that change. Getting a diagnosis including psychosis made such a change in my life and myself that Im still trying to understand it.
