America's Youth</font></font></b>
<p>I wrote this article in a rush to make an update last February.&nbsp;
Since then, I decided I should do a rewrite to make the message clearer.&nbsp;
The original version can be read <a href="kids.htm">here</a>.
<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>Billy is a good little
boy.&nbsp; He does what his teachers tell him without question.&nbsp; He
listens in class.&nbsp; He follows their orders.&nbsp; He knows that everything
authority figures tell him is true.&nbsp; Billy does as he's told.</font></font></b>
<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>Billy wasn't always this
way.&nbsp; Billy used to play in class, and annoy his teacher.&nbsp; He
used to rush through his school work so he could play.&nbsp; Billy was
a little boy.</font></font></b>
<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>Now he's a lackey.</font></font></b>
<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>You see, Billy was diagnosed
with A.D.D. (Attention Deficit Disorder).&nbsp; Billy was prescribed Ritalin.&nbsp;
According to noted psychologist and author David Keirsey, over 5,000,000
children are diagnosed with A.D.D. every year and prescribed Ritalin or
a similar drug.</font><font size=-2>1</font><font size=-1>&nbsp; What most
parents don't seem to realize is that Ritalin is a narcotic, a potentially
addictive one at that.</font></font></b>
<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>Ritalin is a stimulant
actually.&nbsp; The entire point of prescribing Ritalin is so the body
overloads and becomes tired, and more relaxed.&nbsp; In other words, it
slows the kid down.&nbsp; For people who aren't Hyperactive, it can get
you high.&nbsp; But any dose high enough can cause the proper effects of
relaxation (which I <i>don't</i> reccomend trying for you amateur alchemists).</font></font></b>
<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>It may also be noted,
that Ritalin may shrink the brain. </font><font size=-2>1</font><font size=-1>&nbsp;
For those of you who can't put two and two together, Brain shrink = more
dumb.&nbsp; In other words, our little Billy becomes a good stupid obedient
boy.</font></font></b>
<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>Many psychologists are
saying that there is an over diagnosis of A.D.D. in America.&nbsp; But
that's not what the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
says:</font></font></b>
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1><b>"</b><i>Epidemiologic
studies using standardized diagnostic criteria suggest that ,at a minimum,
3 percent to 6 percent of the school-aged population may have ADHD. ...
The percentage of U.S. youth being treated for ADHD is at most at the lower
end of this prevalence range.</i><b>"</b></font><b><font size=-2>2</font></b></font>
<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>They continue to say that
although misdiagnosis may occur, A.D.D. is a valid disorder.</font></font></b>
<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>With this basic knowledge,
one might consider the following scenario:</font></font></b>
<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>A government or high powered
group, call them what you like -- it's unimportant for this part, wishes
to control the general populace.&nbsp; This group establishes plants in
the fields of psychology and psychiatry.&nbsp; They invent a "disorder"
that may be found in children who do not join in the group (aka "Free thinkers"),
and have mind numbing narcotics prescribed to them.</font></font></b>
<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>The populace becomes more
complacent.</font></font></b>
<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>Now, when Psychologists
and other professionals begin to question the validity of this disorder,
conveniently a large organization (The AMA) releases a report saying "Oh,
it's real."</font></font></b>
<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>Now that little Billy
is all doped up, and most likely dumb as rocks, he should be ready to be
controlled like the good little member of society that he is.&nbsp; And
when anyone complains, they just say "nonsense".</font></font></b>
<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>Just a thought.</font></font></b>
