While I know very little about the workings of Scientology I can say with some sadness that the very concept of a “Mental Health Industry” is a deeply problematic one in the USA. Just an opinion but any branch of medicine or social services, if practiced for a high profit, will inevitably become endemic with shoddy ethics, malfeasance, & a lack of on-going research that benefits the general population. Perhaps those who have been on a negative end of those services have been attracted to that “religion” (or whatever it is).
We desperately need an overhaul of the medical care this country is providing. The fact that we have the level of bizarre violence increasing in this country bespeaks some breakdown in mental health care & we simply turn out a lousy product.
Perhaps this is due to attempting to make a buck at the expense of those suffering? That is NEVER an ethical agenda.
But many an administrator will argue that any money-making agenda is fair game…. I am beginning to think a “free-market competition” in certain areas is not too ethical if a country can afford to deliver those goods and services to save lives. This seems to almost be in the same category as Civil Defense when one examines the impact on the nation’s welfare.
We would fight Polio or TB freely to protect our country; why stop at one disease?
If a man or woman goes into psychiatry as a profession; is making a buck so damn important that hospitals must “court” him to place his patients there? Medicine (& mental health care / social services) is damn messed up in this country. Just look at the all the folks on this blog alone not getting the care they need!

I couldn’t agree more that Bush is an idiot,
who’s only qualification for president was
being his fathers son and part of the plutocracy
that makes much of our nations leadership.

Also, whites are just as elgible for government benefits(in fact they use more), so it is idiotic to pretend that they are paying for blacks not to work.

Aslan I agree with your point on the inaccuracies concerning the Census statistics which is not entirely 100%. Going off the topic here about the “Brown” or white populations. The U.S. Census Bureau have failed to include many traditional Natives on the rez throughout the nation to fully participate in the survey. According to many tribal leaders, who have sought to correct the invalid numbers on the Census data. The Census will probably present itself by taking neccessary steps in addressing current guidelines to include all “impoverished whites”, “immigrants” and Native Americans and Native Hawaiians. Nevertheless, this brings us to the original stats counted in the 2000 Census as inaccurate. Since then the numbers of uncounted Natives are expected to rise beyond the said stats of 2000. Canada has already seen major increases in Native growth in recent years. Even if its a slight increase, with that I still applaud the news.

If we had done that back when Nazi Germany was doing it, we would not have ended up with a mass murdering terrorist in the White House, over one million innocent Iraqis would still be alive, and over 30,000 American casualties would not have happened.

When it comes to stopping Christian fascist Republicans from breeding, I’ll vote for that, sure!

That assumes rational thought on the part of people who are unable or unwilling to understand basic concepts of biology and logic.

Of course you think the racialists would be absolutely thrilled to learn “their people” aren’t going extinct..but for some reason they are not.

This comment is rather, um, er, well, amusing. The browning of the United States is inevitable, just as the bleaching of America was inevitable when the European honkey started invading and displaced the actual citizens of North America.

But it isn’t some conspiracy against ye ole honkey, the browning of the United States is the consequence of reproductive outnumbering of whites by browns. The economics of the situation evolves. Rich and middle class people do not breed nearly as frequently as poor people do, ergo whites are being “overrun.”

It ain’t some kind of deliberate conspiracy to stamp out a certain set of allele frequency traits, it’s the consequence of economics — extremist Capitalism, to be specific.

The notoriously criminal Scientology Corporation harbors massively insane hatred against the mental health industry and they even tour the country with an “exhibition van” painted up with screaming mottos of hate like some kind of Klan freak show. They commit screaming sidewalk kook spews outside of member residence and business offices of the mental health industry and while violent assaults against the objects of their hatred are fairly rare, they’re not unheard of.

If anything, the Scientology Corporation deserves an honorable mention.

Then again, where are the Creationist lunatics that hate free speech so much that they file fraudulent DMCA complaints with YouTube and Internet Service Providers to get content removed that they don’t like soilely because they harbor hatred of those who advocate science? True, they don’t hate a race or a minority, but Creationists should qualify for an honorable mention award.

Any way, it’s great seeing the SPLC doing what they do, causing the right-wing lunatics among us to grind their teeth in anger and frustration. The SPLC keeps some of these lunatics off the streets for at least short periods of time, if only because they’re stamping their feet, turning red, and getting angry at the audacity of having their ideologies of hate and bigotry enumerated outside of their like-minded forums.

My opinions only and only my opinions, as always.

Have you ever known a person who throws around the title of “Marxist” who actually knows what it is? I haven’t.

The fact is, there has never been “white racial” consciousness. In Europe the term white is basically meaningless for all practical purposes, and in America various groups which we accept as obviously white were once treated no better than blacks, such as the Irish or Italians.

Your screed here is a self-deluding fantasy. How good it feels to believe that you have some secret knowledge that escapes the majority of “your people”, including those who are objectively your social betters.

Exactly. Fear is the motivating factor behind any movement that seeks to “protect” one group by the denigration of another.

It makes them seem so much more pitiful, doesn’t it?

Re: The Dream Act. I’m so glad you posted this over here. I had a student who is in the same situation; it just boggles my mind that our country wouldn’t be bending over backwards to embrace this brilliant, kind, thoughtful kid. But then, what do I know? My family emigrated here from Ireland a couple hundred years ago. We’re dirty immigrants! oh, wait…

But they kept denying it’d gone into the oven.

My name is S.Aran, I am a representative of Dream Activist where we are currently conducting a massive awareness and recruitment campaign in order to garnish support for the Dream Act.

I am an undocumented student, and find it extremely difficult to pursue my college education due to a status I inherited from my parents. Being brought to the United States at the age of 12, raised and brought to an American lifestyle, to graduating high school in 2007 at the top of my class. The DREAM Act would help me, and students in my situation, realize our dreams of becoming active members of society by allowing us to attend school or join the military.

Currently we have a project going on at CHANGE.ORG, a website that will present the top 10 ideas that it generates to the Obama administration upon its inauguration. The members of your organization are more than welcome to vote on our idea in order to keep it in the top 10. Heres a link to the site:

                http://www.change.org/ideas/vi.....am_act_now

YOUR BLOG, is probably the most invaluable tool you have in order to help us.
Starting January 5th, the site and voting polls will re-open and we will need as many votes as possible in order to defeat our opposition; in which, we have only 10 days to gather enough votes so that our idea move forward and get presented to the Obama administration upon inauguration. There will be a widget that you can post on your blog to allow your readers to vote on our cause, and do not forget to make a post public for viewing and circulate it far and wide.

Another project we would like for you to be involved is the petition we will have online as of January 21 (www.dreamact2009.com). This petition is being hosted by DreamACTivist and the United We DREAM Coalition, in which we will aim to gather 65,000 signature by March 1st of this year.

Remember that is now a new year, this is our time to bring the Change that was promised to us. Let us work together towards a common goal, and enjoy the role we play in society as activists and advocated for not only immigrants, but education as a whole.

Please, let me know if you are interested, as the more help we get the better and faster our mission can get accomplished. If you have any questions surrounding the bill, or anything in relation to DO NOT HESITATE to contact me at this email address.

Hope we can keep in touch.
Thanks for your attention.

Sincerly,

S.Aran?

Are you familiar with a person by the name of Curtis Allgier? Do an image search of that name, and you will find what I believe should be the lifetime award winner in the category of Aryan tattoos. In fact this guy’s achievement is so phenomenal, that I believe he should receive this award every year.
