		<description>“All children ‘have ADD’ up till age two, but if they’re socialized properly, it’s bred out of them.”

Uh, not to cherry pick, but to have something "bred" out of you, it requires generations, not training.  Breeding out problems only concentrates on those that are genetic, and only does so when they have targets, and the ability to affect the outcomes of those target interactions.  Also, for a psychiatrist to say this cheapens ADD, because ADD is a disorder or it's not, and disorders are a) not "shared by every child" and b) suddenly cured by proper parenting.  And, tell me, what is "proper" socialization?  Who determines this?  Is it result specific, in other words, if the child turns out okay, it was proper, and it the child turns out autistic, ADD, ADHD, or some other problem (that they say is inherent in the child), then it wasn't proper?  Does this mean we're going to start making a value judgement based upon results, and start prosecuting parents of children with ADD because that's evidence of "bad parenting" or "improper socialization"?

"Psychology is the only field wherein the practitioners invent, or exaggerate the prevalence of, diseases and conditions so they’ll have ready diagnoses."

Wrong, sir, because this problem is endemic to our society at the moment.  Just in the medical profession alone, I'd like you to consider that there are two diseases (I know they treat them as seperate diseases, I was diagnosed with and treated for both at the same time...funny thing, turns out I had seven ruptured discs in my back and neck), one called chronic muscle fatigue, and one called fibromyalgia.  Translate that Latin "fibro" it's muscle, and the "myalgia" is chronic fatigue.  Get it?  Two diseases, because they translated one into Latin.  But no, the psych docs are the only ones who make stuff up.  Try the cholesterol problem, while there's STILL, after fifty years of researching it, NOT ONE SINGLE LINK to heart disease, we still destroy people's kidneys every day with cholesterol lowering medicines.  Why?  Because it's big business.

For more examples, look to global warming, and population explosion.  Both are concepts the left tries to impose on the world, and while we're aware of it, everyone still has some horrid idea of "too many people" in the world.  More carbon dioxide has been proven to only grow more food, and essentially nothing else, yet everyone fears it because we are made to fear it by the media.

Why?  Because they can only control us if they're constantly trying to save us from something, and not everyone will be fooled by any one thing, so they must offer us a panoply of tragic consequences to constantly be rescued from, like damsels in a never-ending story.</description>
