I'm on your side on this one. I think most of my grandkids are on Ritalin or some
damn thing. I blame computers and computer games, and parents, of course. But mostly
I blame the damn doctors who prescribe the ****. Of course, smacking a kid on the
butt is not the 'liberal progressive' thing to do. Probably not politically correct
either.

I know of no one in my generation, or the following one, who was classified ADD or
ADHD. Although, I have heard of 'adult onset' ADD. I think that's another
narcissistic ploy for attention.


The thing that bothers me the most about this is that most of the
people who shaped our history probably would have been called ADD in
school and drugged.
