"Mental health is a real issue.....it's not caused by Monsanto.....the average male schizophrenic....."hits" at about age 23.....the numbers for women are far lower and begin 3 - 7 years later...
There's a HUGE need for mental health care in this country and it doesn't STOP at your doorstep or mine. "
Some mental health issues are caused by poor nutrition, which Monsanto and Cargill and a few other major food producers cause, but that doesn't make it their fault. They are in business to make money and there is competition and they get paid by the pound. You might not know it, but these cults they got kids to join long ago gave them a diet that lacked protein.
I studied psychology when I was young. I was a bookworm. Whenever the family asked what I want for Christmas or whatever I said books, NON-FICTION. Once I read all about psychology the rest of my life became a study of people. It actually stood me off a bit and made it a bit harder to get into close relationships with anyone.
But back in the day when there were practically no school shootings, people went to psychologists. They were counselors who helped you work through your problems. they are not legally able to prescribe any drugs. They were overpriced of course, but some were effective. Very effective in bringing out your internal problems that cause you to act out, the hatreds and regrets and whatever.
Now you go to a psychiatrists who is legally able to prescribe drugs, and on the first visit they write a scrip. This is wrong and is causing alot of problems. And they cannot predict what any of these psychotropic drugs will do to any particular person. They ffect the brain chemistry but they have not taken apart your brain to find out exactly what it might need. Actually they did back in the 1970s with the L-dopa drugs, but since then it seems to have been trial and error.
Personally, no degree or anything, have counseled people out of depression, even suicide. I failed once and that hurt me until I learned to better control my feelings. That guy, a good friend, had Huntington's and he explained why he was going to do it.
He explained that it is a congenital disease and his Mother had it and he had it. Like Parkinsons in a way with the tremors but this affects you mind in later stages. You get nuts. He said his Mother would go out driving and get into a wreck and hurt people and simply not give a shit. She was not that way before. And then he watched her strapped down to a bed in a hospital to basically die, because there is no cure. He told me (in confidence but he is dead now) that he was going to do it because he did not want to hurt others, and also wasn't too crazy about they way his Mother died. He hung himself. If what he said was right I really can't disagree.
Early after we met, I got a story for you, and true. We worked way east and he lived way west. He drove me to work and back. The very first day he was driving a Ford Escort in the fast lane on I-90. A semi truck did not see us and changed lanes and there was just barely enough room and he drove that car with precision even my family might not be able to match, and we are fucking good. He come from a car family too. Eventually the truck changed lanes to the right and the breath of the sigh of relief was deafening. I said "Just get us to the nearest bar right now".
So it came to pass that I usually rode with nim to and from work because I was on the way, and he started hanging around for a ffew beers after work. Once in a while on Fridays I wold just go out to the "strip" (of bars) by his place. He introduced me to Rare Earth - Get ready which I think is an excellent piece of music. And on Saturday morning he made an omelette with everything but the kitchen sink in it. If it was in the fridge and smelled good in it went, and they were good.
By the time I was 35 I knew more dead people than alive. I bitched about it saying "This shit is supposed to happen when you are like 60". It affected me in ways nobody will ever know. Think about it, more than half of your friends dead by the time you are 35.
But because of how I was raised I could take it. It did harden my heart though, it is about a Rockwell 9.3 now. However that does give me certain advantages though. I can keep a clear head in a bad situation. Ad I do believe that is important.
Many years ago a buddy asks me if I had any heroes and I said no. But really, the only ones who come to mind are Spock, in Star Trek. Saved the world, galaxy and universe here and there because he could keep a cool head. And Data, who did pretty much the same. But I do not rise them up to any kind of position of whatever, just what I consider heroic characters in fiction.
Other people are different. A while ago they used to go to Blockbuster and rent ten movies a week and they think what is in those movies is real. Now it is Netfliks but it is the same thing. And now all this new shit is unwatchable. All special effects and so much surround sound you can't hear the word. I am pretty much done with it.
But I have seen parts of some of these newer movies and can see how they affect people. I'll tell you this, I am sure Hollywood affects politics. And that is wrong.
Friend of mine has a saying now that he is older, a bit older than me. Says "Don't know, don't want to know". Unfortunately I already know. Can't seem to forget. I have not watched one debate or anything from these candidates but I can better predict what they're gong to do than people who have watch all of their lies and bullshit.
I have experience with cause and effect, my job is and has been for a long time, troubleshooting. I already know what is going to happen but not until the election. I know what powers the President has and does not have. The races in the house and senate are actually more important, believe it or not.
Bottom line, back to the point of MY thread, people came up with three murderers in the NRA. Is that all you got ?
How many mass murderers and school shooters were even fucking republican ? Look it up.
We real conservatives need to take the power back, and I do not mean neo-cons with their global oil policy. I man back to Barry Goldwater of even farther back than that. Get these goddamn globalists out of here so we can have a good country again.
And that is what Trump is selling and it might just put him in the big chair, but the fact is he will not be able to deliver.
