Proudly Pumping Kids Full of Drugs

do you live in an empire like i, that denies its adults the right to use drugs that it can’t control & in the same breath, fills its children full of “medications” deemed appropriate by psycho****ingmaniacs who follow in B.F Skinner’s footsteps, “treating” younger & younger children like they are blank slates, empty molds to be shaped as if they have no personality of their own, as if they have no right to exist outside what the disgusting status quo would like them to be, little cogs grinding in the capitalist nightmare, little conformist drones shopping & working, shopping & working, with no idea what it might have been like if they hadn’t been proudly pumped full of drugs before they even had a chance to refuse them? because, you know, if a 3 year old says “no” or throws a tantrum, then they must be bipolar---they must have aggression issues, they must have ADD, they must be “broken” in some way, so PUMP EM’ FULL OF Seroquel, PUMP EM’ FULL OF Risperdal, PUMP EM’ FULL OF Vyvanse & PUMP EM’ FULL OF Amphetamine Salts, PUMP EM’ FULL OF Zyprexa, PUMP EM’ FULL OF Concerta & don’t hesitate to PUMP EM’ FULL OF Methylphenidate. and what if your kid seems down? what if your kid seems nervous? what if your kid doesn’t laugh at your ****ing jokes or what if your kid doesn’t like talking in front of a class at school? WELL THAT JUST CAN’T BE!!! SO PUMP EM’ FULL OF Xanax, PUMP EM’ FULL OF Celexa, PUMP EM’ FULL OF Zoloft & PUMP EM’ FULL OF Prozac, PUMP EM’ FULL OF Lexapro, Ativan, Desyrel & Cymbalta, PUMP EM’ FULL OF Wellbutrin, Valium, Effexor & Paxil. hmmm…. A.early diagnosis of children resulting in prescribing of psychiatric drug. B.doctors that diagnose are “discovering” new disorders & “identifying” more symptoms of old disorders. C.pharmeceutical companies make more drugs to “battle” the disorders “discovered” by doctors who are on their payroll. D.the rate of adult americans on psychiatric drugs has continued to increase in the past 10 years, filling the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies, so if they can get them early---that is, to diagnose a child with an “illness” that will need a lifelong usage of a drug manufactured by said pharmaceutical, then YOU DO THE ****ING MATH & keep pumping your kids full of “legal” drugs america… keep on pumping them & admitting them to those clinics that start popping up which are being opened specifically to deal with the side-effects of those very same drugs.
