"I believe that if we get together and compare notes, we can bust them dead to rights in the court of public opinion, leaving the sanctimonious lawyers, congresscritters and various assorted jaberwocks in the dust, jaws in their laps like they're strung out on thorazine."
I can accept that. Do you not agree that to be able to get together, compare notes and lead the charge that it requires a leader that can rally the support of the former CEDU students? How do you expect to do this with the style of argument that Roy and others have brought to the table?
In other forums, I have seen parents ask the board if their child should go to an Emo. Growth boarding school. How should that parent react with comments that range from "you're wrong", go on vacation and maybe you are a bad parent. All responses riddled with vulgar language. How is that parent, good or bad, supposed to respect your opinions? Maybe there are rational arguments out there (maybe yourself), but your peers hurt your fight more than help it.
Finally, I believe that without a campaign grounded in reason and a dignity that appeals to the masses, this fight will fail. My solution is to try to get to these selfish interests (young lawyer, journalists, etc.) to fight your cause, because at this time the former CEDU students are not ready to handle do it on there own.
However, I believe if you find a leader in your movement who can rally the former CEDU students in a positive, well intentioned campaign against CEDU that you could go about the fight differently than I suggested. I believe that if you are all appropriate spokesman, you could attract non-CEDU students to your cause. At this time this group is not unified, extremely vulgar, and does not attract the respect (though it may deserve the respect) from the mainstream community. Would you not agree? I would also point out that to use this tactic would take a lot longer than you think. Good Luck!

Don't patronize us. We are not the "mainstream," nor do we want to be. You will not "minipulate" any of us into disclosing our identity. And, this has been your agenda all along - CEDU boarding school advocate lawyer.
This is wasting my time and yours. If you can prove you are costing CEDU a lot of money for your time, then, "by all means. Otherwise goodbye.
And that means forever.

I agree. We need an attorney like we need hole in the head. Anyone here who is interested in taking legal action has or will do so, but this forum is about expression, and that's all. Parents who visit these sites can figure out for themselves what is relevant to them and what isn't.
We all recognize that changing the teen help industry is going to take a long time. We may have some activists here who are able to push tthingss along, untill then, we just post our experiences and opinions, and parents can decide how much credibility we have.

Well, then go ahead and do it. Or just hunker and watch. :wink:
Since you [US "drug tsar" McCaffrey] control a federal budget that has just been increased from $17.8 billion last year to $19.2 billion this year, is asking people like you if we should continue with our nation's current drug policy like a person asking a barber if one needs a haircut? --

This is just a funny statement in general. However, I had a feeling I was wasting ya'lls time. Think about what I wrote. Take care.
