Vern, Vern, Vern!! I'd love to play chess with you. Our styles are dialectically opposed and yet similar somehow too. I thought I'd made clear the answers to your queries, in stating that I was a mere passer-by. When I reviewed your list, though---thank you!---I noticed one that did NOT ask for essentially the same info. I was in every case in predominantly White neighborhoods, going to and from my daughter's school and to the program where I t

WiseFawn! I feel so lucky to have the virtual privelege of your acquaintance. The notion of "heart" is an easy one to discount. I certainly have never attempted a scientific explanation, which is important, as science is a necessary component of conversation that's worth a damn. But you so powerfully manifest this quality, of love and center and common sense, that I call "heart." Thank you. My call to all who feel such is to listen to the word

Sadness and Madness Are Part of Our Gladness in Current Events JoeUser Forums

The excellent entry a few days ago, about Adult ADD, has taken hold in my mind. My children are of an age that results in significant numbers of their peers being on powerful prescription drugs that are essentially addictive amphetamines and tranquilizers. This addictive epidemic occurs simultaneously as our taxes pay for a futile and brutal and stupid “War on

Thanks Wise Fawn! Right back at ya! as my buddy in Hollywood says. I realize that the only real ABILITY which I MAY possess in greater amounts than other JoeUser writers---excepting Je Ne Sais FUCKING Quoi, of course, and who in the hell knows what that is, eh?---is my incredible prolificity(that may be a made up word, but it's a necessary addition to the lexicon). I really can churn out about ten thousand clean, semi-second draft words a da

Imajinit! Thanks for wading through it, in spite of all the lust I have for juicy words. I have limited myself(in general, like an alcoholic who tends to remain on the moderation-management, no more than two beers wagon)to TWO made up words per piece I produce. My recollection is that this piece had only ONE! There: if you can't find the others in your online dictionary, my God sir, what is the world coming to?

Vernon, You're a 'just the facts, ma'am' kind of guy perhaps. That is fine. I'm presenting facts, facts of a certain sort. The arguments you use would deny the applicability of a science like epidemiology, which looks at broad patterns in order to deduce links and causation, in order to come up with resonant hypothesis. For better or for worse---and I understand your skepticism and disposition to disagree, which are both fine, si

Thanks for posting this so articulately and honestly. I have been working on a book about ADD and the infuriatingly stupid "War on Drugs." The hypocrisy and doublethink necessary to maintain those two things---a campaign to prescribe highly addictive drugs on the one hand, and a campaign to stop people from using anything from plants on the other---is just too bizarre for me to manage. I've also finished a book of short stories, "Drugs, Guns

PoetMom and WiseFawn!! Remind me, if I ever happen to disagree with you(could that ever happen? LOL), not to be a sexist idiot. I shudder to think of the bloody pulp of putrefaction you'd make of me. Sometimes, I like to think that men can write about anything with as much authority as a woman. You have humbled me and corrected my hubris. Thanks for paying attention and putting things in a much clearer and more useful way than I was able t

Don! Please, in the future, when you present ultra-compelling and interesting analysis, just for my sake if not for the sake of anyone else, please give one reason to feel optimism is something other than a fool's errand. Present a 'one-chance-in-a-million' scenario. I haven't been teaching in the public schools that long; in '75 I was still an undergraduate, but I've been teaching off and on since 1978, here and there, as one way to support

Listen you moron! You're in my house now. You haven't the reasoning skills of my daughter when she was seven. As for "dressing her like a prostitute," pal, go fuck yourself. You haven't a clue. As to "parenting skills", I've never suggested I was the best in the West; far from it. I'd like to do an honest reality check with your kids, however, to see how they revere dear old dad, the fascist bad mad mofo who knows what's best for everyone

Hey Don! What she said, yeah!! I'm a teacher, and I tutor all sorts of folks on the side in writing and production. The crisis in education today is among the most---and may be the most---profound crisis in our society. It is a crisis, however, not of curricula or reading material, but a spiritual and political crisis that has to do, in my estimation, with willful ignorance and greedy self-righteousness, on the one hand, confronting hopeles

I tend to agree with you. I also realize that most of the laws out there are stupid, at best, and dangerously psychotic and hypocritical at worst---among the former of which I would consider 'dress codes' and in closer to the latter of which categories Alabama's law belongs. And, I have come to the conclusion that just parroting that we need to "follow the law" is only a decent strategy for survival when law refelcts wisdom, common sense, decency, an
