Just like everything else in America I guess we always go too far. Then again as the people in charge of this country make it suck more and more each day to live in I’m not surprised that people need something to take the edge off. The one that bothers me the most is the use of these drugs on kids to deal with “ADD” I say that because if you listen to the descriptions of some of these kids they are described exactly the way that some of the smartest most creative people on Earth were described as children. Einstein was a horrible student,but it wasn’t because he had ADD although I’m sure today he would be put on Ritalin. In fact many of the people we know today that were pioneers in the past were students that teachers couln’t stand,detached, people around them often thought them weird,so the question is are we drugging all the creativity out of the next Einstein as we speak?
