I think medication is far too often used to deal with childhood issues, but are necessary in some cases. Today we simply deal with a trouble child by slapping them with a disorder and passing out the drugs. We still don't know the longterm effect these drugs will have, but as usual, we'll deal with those issues when we get there.

I'm no child psychologist but I have grown up around enough people to see the longterm results of their parenting. Or lack of. And as with most of us I'm sure we have looked back at our childhood, and at least in our own case, can make a fairly accurate account for who we are and why.

I think a lot of the behavior problems in society today stem from our anti-religion folk and Liberals. Perhaps one in the same?

I saw on the news today that a resent poll showed only 14% knew the Ten Commandments, while 35% could name the Brady Bunch. I'm sure this has to do with the Ten Commandments being taboo in schools and government. Now before you Liberals get your panties in an uproar about having religion force fed by the bible thumper, let me elaborate.

Now if God had written a really killer cookie recipe would you refuse to use it simply because of its source? I think the Ten Commandments is just that. A really killer recipe to live by no matter what its origin might be. Now I realize a few ingredients might trip your trigger, but hey! if you don't like nuts in your cookies, just ignore that part.

Well it really doesn't matter because in our case the anti-religious has managed to make these cookies only available at home, and if your parents are much for cooking? oh well what ya gonna do? So now we have a child behavior problem and we're thinking passing out the drugs is far easier than expecting the parent to deal with the issue.

All I can say is I'm very glad my parents cared enough to whip my butt when necessary. Not that it happened very often, but I understood it was a real possibility.

And for those of you who think you've got that unique super intelligent 2 year old that understands right from wrong with nothing more than a few understanding words, Man I feel for ya 10 years from now.
