I think they understand it, and I think there fear is don't take away from me to give to others. I think (non-judgmental - it is what it is) the problem in this country is that most of us are self centered, perhaps that is why we will never see universal health care.

Also, I think it angers people when politicians stand up a pretend we can do everything for everybody without sacrifice, or that we can do it by only taxing the "rich". Most know that is bull.

Also I think this carries over even for children. As I understand it something like 10% are diagnosed with AHDH every year with about 4% to 5% prescribed the drug Ritalin. So in every classroom there are about a couple of kids taking this drug. I'm no expert but could it be that young kids with a lot of energy are just figity sometimes.
Humans, especially little boys, were not made to sit without activity for hours and hours at a time. Boys need to be boys - they need to run, fight, scream, play with bugs, get dirty, etc. - let them do that and it becomes much easier to live with them. My first wife never really understood that, but my current wife does.

Pure emotion.

It is an emotional issue to me, I can't separate emotion out of it. Can you? How do you do it?
