Reading, Writing and Ritalin!

From: Sir Arthur C.B.E. Wholeflaffers A.S.A. on 3 Aug 2008 04:40 Establishment "Educators" Push Drugs On Disruptive, Fussy Children!/ Reading, Writing and Ritalin! For a variety of reason, including boredom, schoolchildren sometimes don't pay attention the way the teacher would prefer. In times past, the answer has been a suggestion from the teacher to "pay attention," or perhaps a slap on the wrist with the ever-present ruler. That was then. This is now. Today's answer to fussy children. DRUG THEM!! It is a well-established fact that often the most fussy children are often the most intelligent. They get bored in a class geared to the less intelligent. But we can't have some children singled out as being more intelligent. So, in a Machiavellian move to prevent excellence from being rewarded and encouraged, the government along with the blessing of the Medical Establishment -have decided that fussy children have a mental problem. But not to worry, they have an answer--it's drugs. Dope those kids to the point that they'll sit there in class like good little zombies, never educationally outdistancing their lesser endowed classmates! But first the parents must be convinced that their children aren't fussy; they're fruit cakes. "Don't worry, parents," says the psychiatrist, "We can fix that." And if you don't believe them, the pharmaceutical companies have jumped on the bandwagon. A concerned parent in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was visiting her local bank where she found a stack of pamphlets available for customers as a "public service." The name of this pamphlet is "Reading, Writing and RITALIN." Ritalin is a stimulant used to "stabilize" fussy children First, "fussy children" isn't scientific enough. No good parent is going to agree to have his child drugged (in good conscience) because he or she is "fussy." So the American Psychiatric Association has come up with a new "spin-drome," that's called "Attention Deficit Disorder" or ADD, and its associate "disease" Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity or ADHA. Parents are told that their children are "sick." But again, don't worry, there's a solution: You guessed it, drugs! Here's what the "helpful community service" pamphlet says: Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) affects approximately 2 million school-age children. No one knows for certain what causes ADD. Evidence suggests, however, that a chemical imbalance or deficiencies in certain neurotransmitters may be the root of the problem. To identify ADD a clinical judgment and an objective assessment is needed. ADD is a learning disability, and in approximately 25 percent of the cases other impairments exist, therefore a psycoeducational assessment is needed including the evaluation of: reasoning skills, use of language, perception, attention, memory, visual motor functioning, academic achievement and social skills to establish a pattern. Again, don't worry. It isn't your child's fault he or she is fussy. It's a chemical imbalance or a problem with neurotransmitters in the brains. That's a relief. Get out the DRUGS! The situation has progressed to the point where a teacher just reports a "fussy" student to higher authority, and then the parents are informed that the child should (must) get tested for ADD. If you disagree that drugging your fussy child is wrong, even after a member in good standing of the APA decides it's the right course of action, prepare for a visit from the child welfare juggernaut. And what is this Ritalin that "everyone" says is so good for your fussy child? Dennis Clarke of a Human Rights Commission paints a very grim picture of Ritalin. According to Clarke, in 1989, Ritalin was "The number one street drug in Canada." He identified it as a "speed-type" drug. "Your talking about a chemical that is manufactured by CIBA-GEIGY, one of the biggest pharmaceutical/drug companies in the world, and it has been proven that they have a vested interest to encourage doctors to give Ritalin to hyperactive children." Continuing, Mr. Clarke says, "This drug, when given to a child who has not yet entered puberty, has what is called a paradoxical effect. It has a reverse effect to what it would have on you or I as adults. Whenever you give speed to a child, it has the effect of being a downer. Let's take an example: Quaalude, a heavy psychiatric downer, which was taken off the market by Congress in 1984. If that drug was given to a child it would act as a very potent type of speed. The child would become wildly hyperactive, the pulse would increase and the child would be in serious trouble. Now, on the other hand, when you give speed to a child who has not yet entered puberty, for reasons we don't fully understand, it apparently overwhelms the child's central nervous system, cutting the motors, making it difficult for the child to move and to communicate. CIBA-GEIGY warns that this drug can cause epilepsy in children as well as adults. It can cause epileptic seizures where there is no history of it." Here's what the APA says about the drug: "Poor administration or incorrect dosage of Ritalin can lead to some of the following side effects: 'Zombie-like' behavior, growth suppression, behavior or thought disorder, seizures, headaches, blurred vision, scalp hair loss, Tourette's syndrome-including tics, barking like a dog and babbling profanities (sounds like Republicans!) It can also result in drug dependence and an inclination for criminality." That what the APA says about the drug they want to give to your child because he or she is "fussy" in school or loses things like pencils or homework assignments. Did you ever lose a homework assignment? Do you think you were "sick" and in need of a mind-numbing drug to "fix" things" As usual, a major pharmaceutical company is making profits from the misery and ruined lives of the most innocent of our citizens.

He was booted from one ISP for this, and from another for unfairly quoting excessive amounts of printed work in Usenet. So this should make him best of friends with Gorat - please see her film, or she will be execut - as she loves a medical doctor, but not the real thing.
