90 million tons of speed .. in the form of Ritalin consumed 
by children under the age of 13 isn't about "Hearing the Children"
 
especially when these therapists are placing babies as young 
as 3 months of age on the stuff .. against the manufactures's 
guidelines. >>
 
My problem here is not what "these therapists" or a particular therapist did, 
it's the totalizing analysis of therapy under the reference frame of the most 
dour anecdotes. This is not good scholarship, in my quite often humble 
opinion.  Worst case scenario stuff used to discredit everything in any given 
category. It's as bad as using best case scenario stuff to attempt to 
legitimize any given category. Neither approach really works for me. But 
then, what do I know? I'm only a small trace of perfume in the cosmic 
nostrils.
 
What amazes me most, is that the manufacturer has any guidelines at all. 
Probably after 4 years of Bush, they won't have to bother with such 
formalities.
