When I split, I was on pretraining. We had a special obs book that regular 5th phasers weren't allowed to look at. We were supposed to drop in after school on our 3 days in and write down what we thought, good or bad, about the ppl sitting in the blue chairs downstairs. I always just cribbed from other ppl's obs.
Don't know if any of that bullshit got into anyone's theoretical permanent record or not. I do know they never released anyone's records without a fight, with one notable exception. When one of the programs shut down (can't remember which one), they litterally just dissapeared into the night, leaving files and paperwork scattered all over the empty building for others to find the next day.
Weird, huh?
The only other intimation of these notorious records existance that I know of was when someone representing Straight/DFAF called up Faux News to get Radley Balko's story on Sammi pulled from the website. They claimed to have Sammie's complete record, which would disprove some details of what she'd said in her interview. To this, she and I both responded "Great! We've been asking for copies of our records for awhile now, and no one seems to know where they might be. Please tell this person to send them along to us."
ODD is a just a construction of this truly disordered society. [People in positions of] authority make up disorders like ODD to explain the reactions of people like Alex to the squelching of freedom that is imposed on us.
