More and more, I'm reading stories from parents about various kinds of public sector threats and coercion as a significant factor in their decisions to seek alternative placements and quack therapies for their kids. Additionally, the industry has pretty much always relied heavily on drug war and/or big pharma propaganda to scare the living shit out of a couple of generations of parents and professionals who deal with kids.
"over half of school aged kids are abnormal, drug the fuck out of them. If they prefer unauthorized drugs or prefer no drugs at all to our plans for them, ship them off to be broken of their disorder or we'll arrest and convict or dx them and do it ourselves." is essentially the message I get from both the drug warriors and paediatric pshrinks.
This should not come as any big surprise to anybody who has been subject to being "helped" by these people and who has taken the time to even lightly investigate how much and how shrewdly industry cronies have invested in public policy and what's left of our much vaunted "liberty and justice to the highest bidder" democratic process.
What did you think would happen, kiddies, with Mel Sembler and Robert Lichfiled going around openly buying and trading politicians?
