Well, Max I guess your humility act has worn off and you are back to being your sanctimonious self insisting there is no program abuse and anyone who disagrees is a self pitying fool.
Look, I don't give a shit about what happened to me 20 years ago - it's over and done. (Other than the nightmares and residual affects.) I do give a shit that it still happens.
My problem with programs is that once you are in, you have no credibility. If you have no credibility, you have no access to authentic advocacy, and you sure as hell can't take genuine accountability for your life's direction. Programs have too much power to manipulate not only your parents, but your own damn sense of self.
If you want to believe in your Program Jesus, that's fine. But you sure as hell don't have any right to tell anyone else that our naked scaly assed Emperor does in fact wear clothes.
And if you really were a program kid -and I am 100% certain you are not, Sweet Canadian - I understand why you think you needed Program Jesus. Afterall, you basically described yourself as a liar, thief, master manipulator, and bullshit artist. But I can tell you that the vast majority of kids I knew were neither addicts nor Satan incarnate and did not need to be warehoused in some Stepford kid factory.
