Immortality: A toy which people cry for, And on their knees apply for, Dispute, contend and lie for, And if allowed Would be right proud Eternally to die for.

....I was instrumental in implementing and designing a program in the junior high, ?Creating a Caring Community?, where I worked with teachers and community volunteers, who interacted with the students weekly to promote goodwill and character development. Several things that have truly been enjoyable, are teaching parenting courses, working with preschoolers and serving on various boards through the years allowing me to enrich my community through these efforts. This past year I was given the award ?Champion for Children? by the Child Youth Advocacy Organization"

Gilcrease isn't a psychologist. He is a software engineer."

Actually, he openly despises psychologists."
I am sick unto death of obscure English towns that exist seemingly for the sole accommodation of these so-called limerick writers -- and even sicker of their residents, all of whom suffer from physical deformities and spend their time dismembering relatives at fancy dress balls.

No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the sources of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.

No, people allow themselves to feel that way. Shame and guilt is also a choice. The fact that people blame others is also an easy way out. "They made me talk about myself." What? No gun was held to their head. It's a choice. If they weren't ready then they should've kept their mouth shut.
Shame and guilt are strong feelings. Sometimes it's so severe that the slightest mention of an event, person, place or thing can set them off. [ This Message was edited by: Perrigaud on 2005-03-01 09:01 ]"

The body of
Benjamin Franklin, printer,
(Like the cover of an old book,
Its contents worn out,
And scripts of it's lettering and gilding)
Lies Here, food for worms!
Yet the work itself shall not be lost,
For it will, as he believed, appear once more
In a new
And more beautiful edition,
Corrected and amended
By it's Author!
Epitaph for himself.

I have mixed opions about this stuff. I have a bachelors degree in psychology and have been to various counselors etc. Of course my little degree doesn't hold a candle compared to everyone elses' but for whatever it's worth this is my opinon as follows:
We just finished the "Discovery Training" with Duane Smotherman. "We" is my husband and I. During the program I recognized the marketing he does for the program and how he leads you to believe that if you pull your child out (or if you'd not put him in) they'll die (due to drugs, etc.). Perhaps that's true, but then it could be just marketing for the program. So you have to be careful. Now I am HOping that he will be Fixed when he comes out BUT I don't want him to be brainwashed or hypnotized to do that. During the seminar, there were a lot of awsome things we did, but it really did seem to dance right up to a few boundary lines that lead me to wander if when they do it with the kids...do they cross those lines? As parents with kids in the program of course we have a vested interest, but with him obviously he also has a vested interest and it's not necessarily our children ($). So on one hand we liked the seminar, but on the other there are some concerns. I don't have the answer.
