Of course you don't. If you researched you'd realize what a stupid comment you made. You'd realize that the political party you believe so wholeheartedly in is as corrupt as any other.

No shit!  All politicians are corrupt, all of them are looking for hand outs, and they all tend to serve the interests of those who sponser them.  

Overlord's comment was not stupid, it was right on the money, and so are your own observations....In essense, the liberals are paying for the programs that conservatives are running...what's my point? I don't have one, other than WE ARE ALL TO BLAME (as a society)for the proliferation of these bullshit behavior modification money scams.

Here's an idea, instead of labeling each other as democrats, republicans, communists, or whatever, how about we just acknowledge that all of us have a genuine concern for the well being of our children (why else would we be here)...
and then continue on from there.  I believe this would facilitate  far more productive discussions than finger pointing and political bickering.

Just an idea.

Anti-

Could it be that maybe your friend from here is becoming educated in this area at least to know that their are two sides!

I doubt Lon is somehow thinking you are right - reality check here!  I do firmly believe though that Struggling Teens are at one end of the spectrum and you all are at the other and somewhere in the middle their has to be some commonality.  

That would be the reasonable explanation..

Well, I don't know how you come to think of "we" here at fornits as bing at any one end of anything. Some of the regulars around here are actually referal agents and/or dedicated program parents. All comers are welcome and every concievable side of any issue seems pretty well represented.

But I do notice that Lon's site is allowing at least some dissent from the hard-line pro-program position. And I wonder why, that's all.

As to the question of political leaning, I think there's a flavor for just about anyone. Like to think of yourself as liberal and your child as disabled? There's Elan and Provo Canyon and a whole range of other programs that will gladly take your money and torture your kid using gooshy newagey pathology language. Rather think of yourself as a conservative and your kid as rebellious misbehavers? Fine! There's a whole line of programs who will happily take your money and call it toughlove and discipline.

This is where both sides come around and meet in the middle. Either way, we're talking about people who can't quite concieve of the profound responsibility inherent in bringing a child into this world. When they get flustered and feel they're in over their heads, they go looking for some higher authority or experts or specialists to do it for them. They're sitting ducks.
