"You may have been taught that the mind is a very difficult thing to know about. This is the first principle of Scientology: It is possible to know about the mind, the spirit and life."—L. Ron Hubbard
I got taken in (I hope) yesterday by the satire on the soon-to-be released new disorder called Political Attention Deficit Disorder (PADD) that some 80% of us in the US are supposed to be suffering from.
The reason I got taken in is that the disorders in the current version of the DSM IV (the psych bible for transforming normal behavior into profit-producing disorders for which they can charge hundreds an hour to diagnose while simultaneously getting perks and kickbacks from Big Pharma for prescribing the latest designer "med").
You can blam me for being taken in, though. The "actual" disorders in the DSM IV and others that are being discussed (like "Internet addiction") just prove to me that someone better find some real work for the DSM psychs to do before they vote that "life" is a disorder.
PS. I wish that were just a joke. But when they put 6-month-old babies on Ritalin for ADD/ADHD it's no laughing matter. And yes, Virginia, they ARE doing that even as you read this posting.
