My son got a phone call last evening from a friend from Hyde who is still there.  He called to tell my son that he had just run away again from Hyde, but that Hyde has a new "policy" - If you tell them that you are going to run away, Hyde gives you $50.....- HELLO?????



I could'a used fifty bucks. I could'a bought a bus ticket instead of freezing half to death in a Maine winter.  :grin:

Faith is a cop-out. It is intellectual bankruptcy. If the only way you can accept an assertion is by faith, then you are conceding that it can't be taken on its own merits.

Just so you know, to a fair degree, I don't have any major issues with what you've said here to the extent it isn't a reaction to me, and its just you just saying how you feel about your experience....but if (for instance) you were actually blaming Hyde on the state of your life now (30 years later aka TommyFromHyde), then depending on the context, I would probably be inclined to challenge that victim as being an unhealed if not profound distortion."

Funny, I don't recall blaming Hyde on the state of my life.

The sadist cannot stand the separation of the public and the private; nor can he grant to others the mystery of their personality, the validity of their inner self...in order for him to feel his maximum power, he wants the world to be peopled with concrete manipulatable objects...

Hyde Schools / Any HYDE STAFFERS willing to post?
« on: November 10, 2005, 02:31:00 PM »
I don't remember faculty having to go through seminar so they must have changed that since '76. The seminars I remember were just the freshman class and one faculty member who was the leader and not a target. I know I dreaded the damn things because I was always the most convenient target in the class. If you wanted not to be the focus of a seminar just talk about 'ol Tom.

A fundamentalist Christian President who claims God told him to invade Iraq ? an act that killed more than 150,000 civilians, mostly women and children ? is not that much different from a fundamentalist Islamic fanatic who claims it is the will of Allah that he send young men to America to crash airliners into office buildings and kill 3,000 plus.

Hyde Schools / Hyde's "new" rhetoric
« on: November 10, 2005, 11:52:00 AM »
This isn't exactly new. I remember such talk from the '70s

Speculations on the Origin of Human Intelligence: "In defense of the Pygmies, perhaps I should note that a friend of mine who has spent time with them says that for such activities as the patient stalking and hunting of mammals and fish they prepare themselves through marijuana intoxication, which helps to make the long waits, boring to anyone further evolved than a Komodo dragon, at least moderately tolerable. Ganja is, he says, their only cultivated crop. It would be wryly interesting if in human history the cultivation  of marijuana led generally to the invention of agriculture, and thereby to civilization.

Anon, that almost happened during Summer School in '76 on one of Mr. Warren's infamous dory trips. I was there. On our second day of rowing around Penobscot Bay a Coast Guard cutter hailed the "safety boat" and told the faculty aboard that there was an incoming tropical storm and that we had to get to land NOW. I think that the faculty had to be threatened with arrest before they agreed to bring us into shore. Then the storm hit (downgraded to a gale by that time I think).

Are we talking about the same Seed here?

But this is far from demonstrating that the authorities must interpose to suppress these vices by commercial prohibitions, nor is it by any means evident that such intervention on the part of the government is really capable of suppressing them or that, even if this end could be attained, it might not therewith open up a Pandora's box of other dangers, no less mischievous than alcoholism and morphinism.

Hyde Schools / Comments from current Hyde students

Tinker only applies to public schools.

Fresh beauty opens one's eyes wherever it is really seen, but the very abundance and completeness of the common beauty that besets our steps prevents its being absorbed and appreciated. It is a good thing, therefore, to make short excursions now and then to the bottom of the sea among dulse and coral, or up among the clouds on mountain-tops, or in balloons, or even to creep like worms into dark holes and caverns underground, not only to learn something of what is going on in those out-of-the-way places, but to see better what the sun sees on our return to common everyday beauty.

Private school kids don't have constitutional rights. Their rights end when the parents sign the papers and pay the tuition. That's the legal basis for ALL the abuse at all the programs that we're concerned about on these boards, not just Hyde.

In God's wildness lies the hope of the world x the great fresh unblighted, unredeemed wilderness. The galling harness of civilization drops off, and wounds heal ere we are aware.

If so they'd better use the library or an internet cafe to post. Hyde knows about this site so I'll bet my bottom dollar that they're urging their parents to install spyware on their kids' computers.

Being sleepy can impair someone's ability to do thier job.  People
can sleep at home and come to the job with sleepiness still in their system. The sleepiness can still be there long after the employee has slept. When someone is found to be sleepy on the job, they can claim that they went to sleep the night before.  The only solution to this problem is to ban employees from sleeping.
