Differences

All About Receiving Cash is simply Kids, but without Miller Newton and with the money instead flowing to the Wizard.  Anyone who reads this forum knows that the Wizard came from Kids, and was set to run Kids of the Canadian West, until Kids of Bergen County started to draw heat.  The Wizard then stole the program and called it AARC.  The original peer counsellors came from Kids, and Lucky Luciano is still at AARC.  The recovery home idea came from Kids, and the Oldcomer/Newcomer idea came from Kids.  Straight and Kids operated in industrial buildings, so does AARC.  The term raps came from the Straight/Kids phenomenon.  The phasing, and the punishments like Zero Club also came from Kids.  Miller Newton got his fake PhDs from the Union Institute and used Union Institute people to endorse Kids; the Wizard got his fake PhD from the Union Institute and also used Union Institute people to sell AARC.  Miller Newton lied about his background, the Wizard lies about being a psychologist.
  Let's face it.  While the Wizard is coarse, ignorant and unimaginative, having stolen his scam lock stock and barrell from Miller Newton, he is relentless and driven.  He knows how to provide most AARC parents with what they need, release from the responsibilities of parenthood.
  But one difference between Kids and AARC did stand out.  Miller Newton actually had psychiatrists who saw some Kids prisoners.  The Wizard does not have a psychatrist involved with AARC.  The best he can do is Choda, the expert in "fidgeting and not paying attention so much disorder".  Psychiatrists are physicians, but the only physician AARC inmates see is Stanhopeless, he-bitch of chief AARC-shepardess Crookstanhopeless.
  Additionally, Straight and Kids did have state licenses in some instances, whereas AARC has never had a license, except to collect money as a charity.
  So you AARColytes are right.  It's not exactly the same.

Choda meets with parents and confirms diagnoses based solely on info provided by AARC. Diagnoses are confirmed with the parents without even seeing the client.

Choda also was one of the authors of the 1998-2002 study that AARC uses to promote their 85% cure rate.  Same rate that Kids had, and same as AARC was selling back in '93.  Choda is defacto "psychologist" for AARC.  Call me kooky, but I don't see how a study written by the Wizard, Choda, Natalie Oldcomer, who was a 22-year-old client and is now staff, and Goresky, who has put two offspring through AARC, is independent validation.  The person overseeing the whole thing was another hack from the Union Institute, our favourite mail-order diploma mill.  
Regardless of how much pull AARColytes think they have because of McCaig et al, you can't make up for the ineptitude of the Wizard.  Pointing to a study you wrote yourself and calling it independent evaluation is bizarre.  Are you that stupid, or that arrogant?  Or, as I suspect, just crazy as a shithouse rat.
