Yet Another Reason...

...for keeping your kids out of public school. There are plans to screen the entire US with the help of public schools, to determine who is or who is not mentally ill. Those who qualify will be put on anti-depressants and psychotropic drugs to the delight of the multi-national pharmaceutical industry who promise to profit handsomely as a result.

The pilot project for this program was undertaken in Texas when Dubya was governor there. "The Texas project started in 1995 as an alliance of individuals from the pharmaceutical industry, the University of Texas, and the mental health and corrections systems of Texas. The project was funded by a Robert Wood Johnson grant—and by several drug companies."

Bush's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health has commissioners who have served on advisory boards for the pharmaceutical companies that stand to profit. Moreover, there are intimate ties between Big Pharma and the Bush family. The political campaign contributions by Big Pharma to Bush are three times that which they gave to John Kerry.

Is it just me, or does something stink here?
