has begun to be unraveled by the human genome and the DNA markers that
indicate the effect of dietary deficit and contamination, the effect of
chemicals on the development of children, and the resulting
socio-pathology from having parents whose minds did not develop properly
either.

The condition has also become global. Demographics show that kids raised
on family farms, especially the Amish, Mennonite, etc, do not have the
same degree or variety of mental pathologies like ADD, autism, ADHD,
ICD, etc. The small town schools these kids go to dont have the same
rate of violence or dropouts, have better test scores, and higher
graduation rates.

These kids are not raised on sugar cereals, junkfood, and soda either.
You can track the decline in academic performance with the rise in the
use of agribusiness petrochemicals. And this has been going on so long
that it has lowered the level of rationality in the electorate so that
the level of demagoguery has increased and the rate of effective policy
has declined.

If you grew up exposed to this crap and are still rational, you are damn
lucky. Any look at all the ad hominum in the postings shows how high the
rate of neurosis is. Dr. Freud noted how when you present the facts to a
neurotic, he is angry, not educated. So, rational discourse here, or
anywhere else will not result in solutions. He also said that it takes a
severe trauma to awake a neurotic from his delusions.

If we have a severe economic crisis, we can expect an awakening. But we
also know people will wake up angry, and you do not want to be in their
way as they seek vengeance and start dragging the bastards out to be
shot. Both Oriental and Occidental sages said that in uncertain times
its best to have an obscure home in the country.

There seems to be some who understand because the fastest growing
demographic cited by the Census Bureau is the "X-urb", those who moved
out beyond the suburban fringe, often with a hobby farm where they can
at least, grow their own food while they await the revolution trying to
take back the assets stolen by the Power Elites.

IT may not come to that. A pending execution concentrates the mind, but
so also, does a pending foreclosure.
