What is up with Berryman

--- Quote ---Deborah,
Are you affliated with Berryman? What type of formal training do you have working with struggling teens?

I was not insinuating that Deborah was and Ed Con. I was just saying that Deborah and Jeff were affiliated. I was answering the question posed by this anon. That is all.
By the way my dictionary "websters" says affiliated - to associate,join or connect.

Are you talking about another private list, or Trekkers?
We ought to be grateful that our government monopoly schools are such a failure. If today's 18 year olds could do arithmetic, they'd be out buying enough rope to hang everybody over 40.

Deberah is involved with PURE/TREKKERS? Is she an ED-CON or just use one to place her child? If she used one was it Bozak?

No it wasnt Jeff. Jeez. I made a point of stressing that I had no financial interest in any educational biz (or the OTHER smear artists). It must have been the reference to Christmas Shopping (as opposed to Chanukah Shopping) that threw you off.

No, I just honestly wondered if it were Jeff.
But what do you think of my framing of the paranoia problem?
I mean, I've met some diabolical characters in this industry. Miller Newton springs to mind, despite my best efforts to keep with the happy, holliday spirit. Art Barker and Libby MacDonald too.
But they're the exception. Most of the people who get caught up in this parent movement thing are well intended. Good people often do horrible things to others when they think they're doing it for a good cause.
Everybody seems to be looking for some maniacle, hunched over evil monster at the core of this and I don't think there is one. Even those lost souls like Art and Virgil, without their cult followings, they're just pathetic losers who've invested all they were and all they had in an illusion. That's all the legacy they will ever have.
There never was a good war or a bad peace.
