You've won me over.
So, how do we get rid of the crazy people?
Hey .. I'm struggling with that part.. Because I like Crazy people A LOT MORE than I like any on in Psychiatrics. Don't trust them. Don't honor their methods and tools. Don't believe they are effective.
Identifying real deviations and illnesses will have to wait awhile until you can SEE or MEASURE a psych problem. But with identifying POTENTIAL problems, I believe that normal social immersion, peer counseling, INCLUSION, and high expectations could all be better than Prozac or Ritalin...
Psychiatry is kind of like anything else... the attention goes to those who can make you rich, not where the resoruces are needed.
Which is why the crazy homless guy ranting at a lightpost gets to sleep on a grate and the businessman with mommy issues gets 20 years of therapy.
You answered that one yourself. The 20 years of therapy apparently didn't provide any more illness reduction than sleeping under the lamppost.
EVERYthing is victimhood to you isn't it? The fact that the businessman gets to indulge himself wasting money on useless therapy is a crime to you isn't it?
YET --- the pinnacle of our pop culture is adolation of the life styles of the rich and famous. Bet you cry at every episode of "My Super 16 Birthday" on MTV..
Take a look Joe --- Daddy (an NBA player) and Mommy (Salt n Pepper) just tossed Christy the keys to her new car.....
Christy may be the daughter of former NBA player Kenny Anderson and Salt-n-Pepa's DJ Spinderella, but she's ready to step into the spotlight for her 80's 16th birthday bash. | MTV Photo Gallery
Go get those bastards....
