Note to Americans
We have a "moment" happening, a huge one. HR5628, the Ending Corporal Punishment in Schools act was introduced in late June. This covers public as well as private schools. Facts regarding it copied from TheHittingStopsHere: • Every 20 seconds during US school hours an American school child...

Re: Failed "Phoenix Order"…
L2Eb6OigpVM&feature=related And as Christopher Hitchens points out, almost all danger to freedom of speech today comes from social pressure, not government. From 'groupthink', I suppose. From his perspective as a writer he says government itself hasn't much yet bothered suppressing speech, that...

Re: Failed "Phoenix Order"…
Cesar, I think it's gonna be okay. Not to say there's nothing to worry about. I just have a good feeling, overall. Long-term, even medium-term. The fight all along has been between freedom and bondage, truth and lies. It's a damned hard thing to trust human beings. It's damned easy to argue that we ...

Re: Failed "Phoenix Order"…
Cesar, I haven't much more than glanced at this thread but wanted to tell you in case you visit it again: I had reason the other day to look at the Wikipedia article on the trauma model of mental disorders http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trauma_model_of_mental_disorders and got the idea that you were i...

Re: Is the tide turning?
Freedom is very important and not just an empty phrase used by presidents. You have to take it, no one will give it to you. Not out here in the real world, they won't! Sons of bitches! If I could express one opinion quickly, less than half thought out: the only business any of us has trying to 'inf...

Re: Is the tide turning?
Dennis, It interests me that Carl Rogers, I think, is quoted in one of my encyclopedias saying something like "Early in my career I found myself running out of junk I'd been taught to tell my client. I discovered then that sitting there going 'mmm-hmm' and pretending as though I were interested...

Re: Is the tide turning?
Hold it. I thought medication worked as well as sugar pills... Oh wait: therapy don't rot your teeth. I get it. In the long run are therapists' bills less depressing than dentists' though? No, just kidding. I wouldn't want to take peoples' hope from them (there is no God there is no God) (going to A...

Re: Miscellaneous Video
I ran a search here on "Bulgaria" before deciding to write about this video. Apparently it's not been mentioned or discussed: "Bulgaria's Abandoned Children", Kate Blewett directed, aired by the BBC and posted to Googlevideo fourteen months ago. It deserves a strong trigger warni...

Re: Miscellaneous Video
Something for another thread perhaps. Or dedicated subforum. I think the relationship between religion and the mistreatment of children and disregard for their rights is too obvious and strong to be ignored. Last I checked, Alice Miller was mentioned once in the tens of thousands of posts at Richar...

Re: Miscellaneous Video
Hm. R. D. Laing not-following . True story: Maybe three years ago I'm watching Letterman or somebody, late-night. Out walks Tom Cruise. Everybody claps, he sits and they get into it about psychiatric drugs or whatever. The usual. That runs its course, Tom calms down and leaves, everybody's clapping ...
