If you consider what I put here far too simple then call me a simpleton. As a child it was only the beginning of the “psychiatrists couch” for so many troubled individuals. What I mean by this is not to denigrate the medical profession but, rather, to denigrate those who hold no degree in psychiatry yet call others out in psychiatric terms. That person over there is a schizo and that person over there should be placed in an institution. Little leeway for a person to be themselves and all of us are at least a bit different.
Doing any of this is a sloppy and pig headed way of dismissing others one disagrees with. Calling some politicians Hitler and others worthless demeans and sets in motion an excuse for violence. When was violence ever an proper outlet for disagreement over political differences? It wasn’t. It isn’t. Those who pile on with this kind of speech are themselves what they call others. This is reality and not psychiatry.
Think about what I put here because I want you to be able to get to my age, eventually, in a country as free and wonderful as America was when I was your age. I began life in 1948. The difference between then and now is jaw dropping!
