MFCS

The Scare Industry
Yes you, kindergarten teacher




“I've seen this manifested.  Last summer a three-year old at our community pool broke into sudden, uncontrollable sobbing after seeing a soda can,  or some such, floating in the river.  She had learned from kiddie television that this was a harbinger of the Earth's pending destruction.  My grandson similarly became very agitated while watching news about global warming killing off all the animals, and Grammy had to 'splain things to comfort him.

With parents so willing to sue gun, bulldozer, and entertainment industries for perceived damages that befall their under-supervised kinder, I'm surprised someone hasn't filed a class-action against school boards, the Discovery Channel, and Al Gore for malicious rumor mongering and child assault.  Hint. Hint.

The major health damage of the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor incident was increased stress due to reports of how bad the health damage was going to be.

A good friend of mine is a recovering addict. While he takes full responsibility for his actions he is able to pinpoint the time in his life when he decided to give up.

It was in high school (1983/1984) when his school ran the program, "The Day After." It was followed by weeks of discussion about how Reagan and the evil War Monger Republicans were going to destroy the world and there was no hope.

He recalls sitting around with his friends deciding there really was no hope -- they weren't doing drugs yet, but by the end of that school year they all were. His mother remembers his despondency and hopeless attitude during that New Years holiday and his downturn from there -- it was sad to watch.

Recently there was a psychologist on a news program who reported this same pattern in kids today because of the hysteria of Global warming.

Recently my Nephews (7 and 9) were asking me to drive with my air conditioner off to save the planet.

I am now attempting to get their parents to remind their children that they have to be prepared -- because just as Reagan didn't destroy the world (on the contrary, he set how many millions free?) their disaster might not come and they have to be ready!

Interesting thesis, LifeTrek, but I am a child of the 70's. We did tons of drugs, but never out of morbidness. I guess there were goth types back then, but not part of my circle.
The idea of global warming and hysteria and scaring the children, tho, that I've heard evidence of in other places. More reason for home schooling and school vouchers.
