Dear scum, I seen other pose this statement as a comment on another's post. Do you make all this up as you go along?

I see in your post assertions like "Half the people in the US are held together by medication"

I see it as a mindless statement. Of course I can only think of what half is in the visualization of half the people that I know and then using that think my God this scum guy lives a place with 10 or more times the sick people that I live with and know in Monroe.

So you ask "Do you think this is an acceptable situation?"
I say you should look to live in a different situation. If 50% of the adults where you are are held together by medication I suggest living there and knowing that is child abuse.

You ask, Did kids need Ritalin to sit still in class in 1960?
I say I suspect that many stupid folks listened to those clueless who had sheets of paper that said they knew and the knew not and many children may have been screwed by well meaning or lazy adults.
I also have no doubt that children may have been made capable of growing positively and would have not become normal adults if not for Ritalin. But I don't know if more harm or good was the result. I also hope that the majority of those who were involved honestly believed that they were doing good. But they all may have been folks with a degree of full of it.

What I know is this. That's life. Life is not fair. Life in America is Life with the worlds greatest opportunity for any human.

Another TRUTH.
As long as the epidemic of Vacant liberal minds syndrome is held in check the future has possibilities. The last election was a fever climax and the gory pustule was lanced and the heathy body politic now grows ever stronger. Hail to the Chief. Our Lone Ranger of Truth Justice and the American Way.

you all have a nice day now hear. Yes Tonto, I know the silver bullets fly with the speed of mercury and faster than any liberal train of thought.
