Personality " improvement " with drugs!

I wonder how many people will see how sinister the " Stuff " news is

    today ( March 19) in your Lifebeat section :

         " Even if you are not depressed, anti-depressants  may be able to

    IMPROVE YOUR PERSONALITY. "

       Does the American Journal of Psychiatry have a not so secret mission: to

    makes us all " more easy going and co-operative " ?

       At the risk of being diagnosed as a  classic case of clinical paranoia,

    may I suggest that the mission of the profession - and Popular Psychology

    in general - has been to suppress and distract the smoldering REBEL in

    all of us ?

        It is nice to encounter cheerful and co-operative everywhere, but

    little things like TRUTH & JUSTICE  might be neglected by hordes of

    cheerful idiots. ( above - co-operative people )

        Sweetness and charm as character traits are more likely to be cultivated

    by deceivers with a self-serving program of their own.

        Honest people cannot help being quite " unpleasant " at times. It is

    simply impossible to tell this society the TRUTH about itself and win

    a popularity contest.

        What would happen if we all took a drug that made us tell the TRUTH

    about everything in our lives ?

        Even Mother Teresa would be scandalized !

     Too many Americans are doped up and stupified with prescribed " controlling "

    drugs. These drugs help them to accept an INSANE life.

      I recommend that we throw all our counter -revolutionary " happy "

    pills down the toilet.

        And let us all shout : " I'm angry as hell and not going to take it

    any more ! "
