WInston Churchill on "Sobriety"
Antigen:
Please don't take it the wrong way We all got sucked into the Twilight Zone for awhile. No one makes a concious decision to quit thinking for themselves. We just concede one point at a time, sometimes, and never notice that we've quit making our own decisions.
Remember that, during all that time, we were busy beating down newcomers (or passively complicit) and surveiling and reporting on parents as well.
When I make the Nazi comparison, I do it with the understanding that the German people are as good, decent and kind as anyone.
-If there's a worse idea going than locking kids up for victimless crimes, it's probably locking them in close proximity to some tyrannical altruist bent on helping them even if it kills them.

Other examples of Mind Control Have any of you ever seen the movie called The Wave or read the book? It is about a highschool teacher who decides to run a class experiment to show how Naziism took hold in Germany. His experiment ends up being too successful, his new ideology takes over the entire school, until the few students who are not members are being persecuted.
When you replace a person's pride in their individuality with pride in being part of the group, you have them.
Slavish discipline makes a slavish temper... If severity carry'd to the
highest pitch does prevail, and works a cure upon the present unruly
distemper, it often brings in the room of it a worse and more dangerous
disease, by breaking the mind; and then, in the place of a disorderly young
fellow, you have a low spirited moap'd creature, who, however with his
unnatural sobriety he may please silly people, who commend tame unactive
children, because they make no noise, nor give them any trouble; yet at
last, will probably prove as uncomfortable a thing to his friends, as he
will be all his life an useless thing to himself and others... Beating them,
and all other sorts of slavish and corporal punishments, are not the
discipline fit to be used in the education of those we would have wise,
good, and ingenuous men...

Re: WAVE america Yeah a big security company (pennington or something like that) came up with that bright idea. They did not realize the obvious references to the film, until after they got tackled by the press. Slavish discipline makes a slavish temper... If severity carry'd to the
highest pitch does prevail, and works a cure upon the present unruly
distemper, it often brings in the room of it a worse and more dangerous

Ahh, Finally I find the proof that struggling teens is evilwww.strugglingteens.com/a...sit02.html
In 1993 and 1998 (printed in 99), Lon Woodbury, reviewed the program run by Steve Gage and Karol Lee, giving it much praise. Including things like "Sitting in their living room after dinner, the sense of safety at Royal Haven is almost tangible. "
A year later Gage was arrested, tried, and plead guilty to 121 counts of theft, fraud, rape, sexual molestation, statutory rape, and a bunch of other felonies. He was given 45 years in prison, and will be eligible for parole in 36 years. So much for the trustworthieness of Struggling Teens program review system.
In other news: I think my friend is definitely ok, and that whatever changes he was supposed to have undergone at his wildnernes program are wearing off as he gets used to being home again. The program is a scam and I hope that one day he will see that but, he seems less and less different than he was everytime I see him. These wildnerness programs may change people while they are out in the wildnerness but when they get back home and realize their parents are still the same neurotic lunatics and alcoholics that they were when they left, their student's "I really love my mom." rhetoric begins to fade away. My only real concerns about the program I have right now, is the untrained/unlicensed staff, the foney therapy, and the extended stay program which seems to say Behavior modification boarding school all over it.
