Both myself and my good friend Sammy have both self diagnosed ourselves as most likely having a touch of ADHD since we were kids. There were no medications for it, support groups, seminars, meetings with the teachers and school board for special classes, courses or having so called experts to give us the "special needs" we needed.
The only special needs we got was slap behind the noggin from one of the nuns with a 12 inch wooden ruler when we misbehaved, acted up or did not pay attention. Guess what? It friggin' worked. And also guess what. We did not go home and complain about one of the nuns wacking us, because we would have been wacked again for pissing off the nuns. No special meeting to complain about a teacher.
The pussification and wimpification of this country continues unabated. People need to toughen up and suck it up. As the Navy SEALS like to say, " Embrace the Suck".
Any body who thinks this country is going in the right direction is just plain f***ed up.
