"... It's aiding and abetting them. It's perpetuating them..." I don't know how they do it. Every time I talk to a customer service rep or such place, at the end of the conversation they often ask, "is there anything else I can do for you?" And I always reply, "yeah, please send me all your extra money." But they never do. Usually they laugh and say they don't have any extra money. But I bet they really do, they just won't give it to me. I don't know how those poor beggars make a living.

People in the mental health industry believed that there were chemical causes to most mental health issues, and that drug therapies existed to treat these chemical imbalances. Psychiatry went from couch time to prescriptions and doctors showed up on golf courses in record numbers. (I am kidding about the second part.) Interestingly a friend who is a Psychiatrist recently told me that the best cure for many mental disorders was involvement in small communities. (Church, school groups, charity planning, etc.) I wonder the value of his advice. Or is small community involvement akin to couch therapy?
