Drinking water which contains the element lithium may reduce the risk of suicide, a Japanese study suggests...See, once we have you numbed down with Soma, everything will be alright. And we won't even have to worry about the psychopharmaceutical/shooting spree nexus, because, well, we're going to be just like Japan, silly.
In an accompanying editorial, Professor Allan Young of Vancouver's Institute for Mental Health said "this intriguing data should provoke further research. [More]
See, the government isn't against all mind-altering drugs--just the ones that disrupt control.
And don't worry--once we're ready for mass implementation, we'll have all the mechanisms in place--along with an obedient media--to ridicule anyone who objects as a fluoridation paranoid.
And don't look for Colleen Kollar-Kotelly to block it because of no "environmental impact study."

Lithium is used to treat SOME kinds of depression. Other kinds do not respond.
Often it is the severely-depressed person newly being treated with a drug but without attending therapy to discover the CAUSE of the depression who, beginning to feel better, takes matters into his own hands so he never has to sink back into that abyss of agony. Those who blame themselves for their condition commit suicide. Those who blame everyone else...
Dosing the entire population COULD lead to ... unintended consequences. That's ASIDE from any MORAL objections.
We already have much of "Brave New World" in our American "school-to-work" educational system. A student's aptitudes are discovered through tests, and the student is guided into a specialized track of courses to prepare him or her for the profession the school system thinks appropriate. They learn little else, certainly not HOW to think, only WHAT to think. How to be "green;" tolerance of the intolerable in cultures that are "different, but equally valid."
As someone has said, we are catching up fast to the rest of the world.

One can lump this kind of stuff into one package.
The Parasite knows better than the hard working productive citizen and saves the citizen from themselves because they are not as intellengent as The Parasite. But when the true facts come into play. The Parsite is unable to make a living like the citizen in the private sector. If The Parasite had to work in the private sector many would fail and need to be on welfare of one form or another. You can't make this stuff up.
Teaching Math in 1950:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1960:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1980:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
Teaching Math in 1990:
By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the forest birds and squirrels "feel" as the logger cut down the trees? There are no wrong answers.

Good point, Joe. The funnel we're all being forced down is dependence on the government for everything. By the way, debt slavery is WAY up in South America, I read. People owe their soul to the company store, like in the song.
In Japan, koroshi is very honorable. That translates as "death by overwork." With layoffs here, people are being asked to do the work of three, five or even more former coworkers. "Animate capital" can always be replaced.
before, a lost decade, of zombie banks.
after, a lost future, of... actual zombies.
Didn't "Serenity" show this kind of thing will lead to unintended consequences... like "reavers"?
That's right; everything I need to know about life, I leaned from "Firefly".
actual zombies?
where's my chainsaw and USAS-12...
Kent beat me to it.

The city of Lithia Springs, GA. (near ATL) has a spring whose water is high in lithium. They wanted to bottle and sell the water, touting is medicinal properties but the gov't said they couldn't do it because the water has lithium in it.
The last time I went to a VA hospital, for treatment, I was offered both lithium and haldol,although I was there to be treated for a severe intestinal infection. I was responding well to the medicine for the infection, so I asked why the haldol and lithium was offered. "You're a Viet-Nam veteran", both doctor and nurse answered. Most all of them do this stuff. I declined the offer. Two days later I was well enough to leave and never returned. More than 20yrs ago. Zombies are created,not born.

Kiss me till I'm in a coma;
Hug me, honey, snuggly bunny;
Love's as good as soma."A gram is better than a damn.
