Story about AARC
Hamiltonf:
Typical response. I got a real chuckle from that red herring.
Anonymous:
I'll weigh in too -
to paraphrase
"can't sue -it's too expensive"
"intelligent people aren't part of a conspiracy, but victims of skillful propaganda"
"David Suzuki (not a psychologist or lawyer - huh?)has good intentions, but sadly has been duped."
No proof of wrong doing. No vocal witnesses who will sign an affadavit. Allegations that sound like what REAL victims who went through at Kids and Straight.
Around 300 families who are pleased with the results - where is the evidence that says otherwise? People like my family - parents are psychologists. They were very pleased with the result - me! Happy, prosperous, father, husband, volunteer. But I guess we are an anomaly.
You mention the war in Iraq - I think you are still looking for weapons of mass destruction in AARC. Good luck!
Hamiltonf:
Your obvious ad hominem attacks do not detract from the harm done by AARC. I personally know some of the intelligent people you speak of who are supporters of AARC, and would suggest they refer to Professor Barry Beyerstein's significant questions he raised in the most recent CBC program on the subject. Also:

and his comments on Straights certainly has to apply to AARC

And here's what someone else has had to say:
I don't know. I do know that my parents paid religious fanatics to fix the problem child' in the early 80s in Ontario. I was over age and hadn't done anything criminal yet was in forced solitary as a private citizen. No free speech, no speech at all unless to praise jesus..now sober 13 years at the age of 39 im still recovering from being forced to forego my comfortable surroudings, endure being told I was wrong, premitted to go to a local school but not interact as I was being watched, no excercise, no TV limited reading material, hauled out of school and falsely accused of something I didn't do and forced to ride an excercise bike at a high gear until my confused mind twigged that maybe I should confess. How did I get there in the first place? Expelled from private school twice (2 different ones) for smoking cigarettes, drinking, drugs and I didn't even like dope and boys! Normal by today's standards. In consequence my inward fight to remain sane left me socially backward and withdrawn with booze being my only escape. I'm only just beginning to 'feel' now...all I can say is that everyone's response to a percieved 'bad' situation is different. Sure I'm on Zoloft and hate christians of the born again kind but there must be alternatives....for me I resented being disbelieved when in fact I was telling the truth. It still bugs me. I lash out at forced societal things like political correctness and false memory syndrome. I have PTSD and am still defrosting...
