Is that thing sitting in some evidence locker somewhere????  And.....is Mel really going to want it back after this is over????

I didn't intend for this to take on a political tone, I'm just here for the drugs.

Phil and his ilk exploit them every day.  This whole 'cookie cutter' approach to therapy or counseling or whatever fucking label it's plastered with is really pathetic.  No therapist or counselor worth their salt would EVER approve such methods.  Tell us all your sob story so I can get bigger and better ratings and make bigger and better money.

This is why therapy belongs on a couch behind closed doors, and not in a spectator arena, a la Jerry Springer.

Phil McGraw has some good psychological principles...(no, I don't agree with his intervention tactics)  but - I never understood how this show can air without a breech of Doctor/Patient privelege.  I'm sure there's a waiver and an attorney behind it somewhere.

Who put that idiot on TV in the firstplace? Housewives who watch Oprah?


 All of that stuff is just bullshit...I mean really, how is this not obvious to anyone that hasnt been totally sheltered all of their lives?

 Stop supporting this crap. Dont watch it....as long as there are viewers they will continue to derail any good real information out there and push this bullshit.
 I dont need Dr Phil or Oprah making any decisions, pointing things out their way, or giving me advice at all.
 They are so far out of touch with the real world..

 Oprah? Come on shes a fucking trillionaire..theres no way shes grounded enough to give the everyday person needed advice...

 In my opinion shes basically  in that whole Nancy Reagan, George W crowd ..
 If she had a show in 1978 she probably would have done shows glorifying Straight Inc and Art Barker, you know ?

I sent him an email the day this post started.  I let him know about "treatment abuse".  'Course, I won't hear a damn thing from them.  Imagine that...the truth is too much for him to bear.   I'm not gonna let up.  I'll send Phil so many emails, they are gonna have to block my address.

Actually Oprah did a show and included some Straightlings in the 90's (1991 I think.) I was supposed to be on the show since I was the youngest person in Striaght at the time. I had a scheme all worked out...but alas since I hadn't done drugs they replaced me with someone else. A little older but with a longer drug list. All the show producers wanted was the youngest possible "druggie" to play on the horror and simpathy of the public. Of course Straight was more than happy to parade a few sob stories for them.
