I have never seen the attack on personal liberty in my life time like what's going on today with Gorge Bush in the White House.


It's like President Bush and his adminstration are implementing a well thought out Orwellian plan to enslave the American people. That sort of talk was once reserved for the lunatic fringes of conspiracy theorists who spoke of secret organizations like the New World Order and Illuminanti. But, it's not so looney after 3 years of Bush, and things like 9/11, PATRIOT Act, Attack on Iraq based upon lies and deceptions, and this suppossed mental health screening proposal. Aren't these the "get government off your back" guys? LOL!

We know the Attack on Iraq was well thought out. The neocons had plans to attack Iraq going back to the late 1990s, before they even controlled the government. Also, there were documents going all the way back to the Carter adminstration talking about Saddam Huessein potentially attacking Kuwaitt. Surely, the Gulf War in 1991 was an anticipated event that could have easily been prevented if the powers that be so desired. Like, they didn't have satellite images showing Saddam building up troops along the border with Kuwaitt?!? Give me a break.

Drug prohibition is certainly another important part of their overall plan of social control. Not only do some drugs like marjiuana and the harmless cousin hemp threaten lucrative industries like textiles, paper, oil, alcohol/tabacco. That's reason enough for them to ban them. But, also the war on drugs is an essential tool in making sure the most undesirable elements in society are kept under control. It's a convient way of locking them up and putting them out of sight. And, this new massive mental health screening effort would further that goal tremendously. The government could identify drug users and lock them up at will. They have the PATRIOT Act to conduct illegal searches. Aiyeee! What has America evoled into?

(I like the spelling of "Gorge" Bush.)

Actually he's only trying to help by putting everyone on drugs. Soon he'll be known as "Dr" Bush.

>>Mental illnesses including anxiety disorders and depression are common and undertreated in many countries, both developed and developing, with the highest rate found in the United States, according to a study of 14 countries.

The highest rate was found in the United States, with 26.4 percent.<<

I don't know why you are feeling so bad about the attack on "personal liberty". The American people are, in fact, being given a choice -- it's either drugs or it's jail. In Iraq it's just jail. No choice.

>>So Taylor took Daniel off Ritalin, against his doctor's wishes. And though Taylor noticed Daniel was sleeping better and his appetite had returned, his teachers complained about the return of his disruptive behavior. Daniel seemed unable to sit still and was inattentive. His teachers ultimately learned that he was no longer taking Ritalin.

School officials reported Daniel's parents to New Mexico's Department of Children, Youth and Families.Then a detective and social worker made a home visit.

"The detective told me if I did not medicate my son, I would be arrested for child abuse and neglect," Taylor said.<<
