You May Be Crazy But Your DNA Ain't

On The No Agenda Show, Adam Curry has been exploring the trend of people using dogs as a substitute for babies.

IF you are crazy, chances are high it has nothing to do with your DNA and everything to do with the perverse incentives the American medical system has been infected with since the 90s.

Additionally, a lot of research has suggested a poor and novel environment of bad food, artificial light, not enough exercise, etc...- might have been what made you think you had some sort of chemical imbalance in the first place.

There were and still are people bad enough off to be locked up, but if you think about this, the current situation is worse because the medication is not likely to stop them from having kids like being locked up in an asylum would- whereas now you've got a bunch of people who've had exposure to drugs and 'therapy' who probably would have been perfectly fine.

I once found out someone had been put on an anti-depressant after one of her family members died. Look, you are supposed to feel, ok? Sometimes you are supposed to feel bad and you have to struggle with it. Otherwise you can't feel, you get detached from the world, and perhaps you end up doing bad things. School shootings are way up since these things started getting prescribed. Meanwhile, gun ownership is way down. Correlations are what they are...

But maybe you should stop it with the fur baby stuff, and think about the real thing.
