I agree with you 100%. There will be alot of wrong diagnosises.School teachers are not qualified to handle this.

Well, you can't make an omelette without scrambling a few eggs. Besides, there's plenty more kids where they come from, and these Professional Caring Persons have to learn on someone's children.

In the long run, sure, there'll be a few hundred thousand casualties -- OK, OK, maybe a few million at the most -- but in the end, we'll have a Brave New Land, where we're all as happy as can be.

And we'll each have a social worker that lets use know just how much "can be" works out to be.

So, shadda you mouf, get inna line, and remember -- trust and obey, for there's no other way, to be happy in Uncle, than to trust and OBEY.

Flower, if you would like to start your own counseling charities, more power to you. That's the only way it is going to be any good, if it is kept private. Otherwise the cure will become worse than the disease.

How DARE you tell her how to live her life!

If she wants to dedicate her being to the cause of establishing state control over the "mental" state of all citizens, then that's her right as a...

Oops, 'scuse me. My logic just fell apart in my hands.

What is up with people supporting this, or any twisted version of this, on a Conservative message board? I'm beyond appalled.

It's all explained here.

I'm the deviate, BTW. And from the looks of your post, I'd say you are too. Good thing. The world needs more of us.

That 4.4's a real humdinger, ain't it.

That's what we call a "catch-all" clause.

Again, some commission recommendation that is vague and has no force of law.

If Bush adopts a proposal to screen all folks like WND says will happen, then we should be concerned, not when some impotent commission reports its recommendations.

*sigh*

Bush the Delegator asks "What oh what shall I do? pleez tell me!"

Bush the Delegator's Delegated Authority replies, "Thou shalt do thusly."

Question to the class: What oh what shall Bush the Delegator do? Will this be that moment -- that golden moment.. the first time in his history that he breaks with tradition?

I trow not.

I'm quite convinced that some people will only be happy when the Bill of Rights is completely overturned.

Just call it the Yossarian Clause.

That's some clause, that Yossarian Clause.

I was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this Yossarian Clause and I let out a respectful whistle. "That's some clause, that Yossarian Clause," I observed.

"It's the best there is," swarthyguy agreed.

Don't sweat the little punky pukes.

I don't.

Like I said, I've got thick ankles. And the little anklebiters are so dense that they Just Don't Get It and go nipping at my ankles even more when I point that out, and then pat themselves on the back for their savoir faire.

Reminds me of the joke about the idiot who walks into a bar with a pile of $#!+ in his hands, who says, "Hey, look at what I almost stepped in!"

That vote test is one of the more despicable things around.

Chilling, isn't it. Not for what it is, but for what it indicates. (There's nothing particularly scary about a couple of dark, hook-shaped clouds stirring about in no particular direction on a hot, swelteringly hot, humid day. But, when you realize what they indicate, well... it's head for the basement time.)

But private voting is also on the way out. Databases like People locators on blueberrys hooked up to voting machines means voting lists that'll display your vote aren't too far off.

After all, if you don't have anything to hide......

Welcome to the future.

The links aren't Kryptonite.

I'm beginning to think that maybe they are. Either that, or maybe they're garlic. :)

Change that boot to a granny shoe, and you got the new improved kinder, gentler for the kids version.

After all, who can argue against health and children.

Your friend has been prescribed what is commonly called a "cocktail". ANYONE taking a comination of too many or the wrong prescriptions is setting themselves up for big problems. This is NOT limited to psychiatric medicatons.

She needs a reputable shrink - FAST!!

Best to you and your friend, ba7

"seeks to integrate mentally ill patients fully into the community by providing "services in the community, rather than institutions"

Oh yeah; that'll work. < /sarcasm >

You are no "brother" in the Lord.

There are those who interpret "the unforgivable sin" as amounting to accounting to the devil that which is of God.

I cast my pearls before swine

Moving along, I will note that I find your words to be indicative of an arrogant child.

You are as Satan himself

Correction: you are as a nutcase.

How corrupt and feeble of you!

Um, whatever.

Obviously you are deluded into thinking that you contribute something of value around here when the fact is you are divisive and ill-informed.

Yeah, me and the rest of the deviates.

I am finished having any further discussions with you.

Promises, promises...

Signed,
Don "Proud Deviate" Joe

I think an 800% increase in Rx's of psychotropic drugs to school age children in a ten year period is a tragedy. There is no possible way that that many children are so severely mentally ill.

A "special ed" kid (i.e., any kid they can classify as out of the norm, and so much better if they can ritalinize him) is worth a lot more money.

The schools receive a dollar value per day for each student in attendance. They receive a much higher dollar amount for "special needs" students.

There is an irresistable temptation to classify as many kids as possible.

The case I talked about in the last post had PARENTAL CONSENT. After the school blackmailed them.

I couldn't help but notice that your attacker went suddenly silent when you pointed this out.

Disbelievers should wait until "mental health" comes under one of those things that are routinely screened for, and anyone refusing services gets tagged with "medical neglect." This is made easier, as well, by the pathway being forged due to No Child Left Behind (which essentially puts any school district receiving federal funds under direct federal oversight.)

Bingo.

Plus, who needs a bunch of energetic boys running around playing war games and doing things boys do.

Better to prepare them for their entry into OPRAH nation.
