		<description>I don&#039;t know what&#039;s worse, really, Britney or the &quot;Goodbye Girl,&quot; Hillary, trying to convince the Iraqis we&#039;ll not abandon them.  Excuse me, wasn&#039;t Obama&#039;s presidential campaign predicated on abandonment?  It seems that most of the middle east and old and new Europe have drawn that appropriate conclusion.  It&#039;s now the great scramble to sort out the new &quot;post American&quot; reality where America is no longer the role model for the world, much less enforcing a &quot;new world order.&quot;  Why should we worry about the Taliban getting Pakistani nukes when the Chinese seem satisfied with Kim the barbarian, bearing nukes on their border?  Speaking of defunct role models, no wonder Nancy Pelosi  is enjoying situational amnesia over those dark days of &quot;torture&quot; when, in her own version of a heart of darkness, she approved enhanced interrogations of unlawful combatants whose only anticipated date with justice were military tribunals and firing squads, until the Supreme Court changed the rules of game.  Pip pip and and a hoe hoe, on with the congressional show trials, big sister is watching.  I can&#039;t wait to see those sanctimonious democrats squirm while shilling global warming to raise carbon taxes.</description>

		<description>SENTINEL, I am delighted to hear the culture wars are still being waged by you and your friends.  I guess. :-(

I have sympathy for people who have had a rough start in life, whether their parents did too much for them or to them. The great thing is, s/he does not have to stay there.  A steady diet of tabloid celebrity news or MSM won&#039;t help young people find a better way.  &lt;b&gt;njcommuter&lt;/b&gt; offered a good suggestion and reading Mark Steyn is seldom a bad way to go either.

I am rooting for all Americans to contribute more and be better off than they are today.  Mental health is an important component and I think Dr. Pinsky&#039;s goal is to reach more people, through the &quot;stories&quot; of celebrities.

SENTINEL, I suspect you really care about the place where you work.  As you rise through the ranks, there may be some used-to-be-losers that you can help be more successful.  Since it is so clear to you what attributes are holding them back, are you willing to design an employee orientation or screening program that lays out expectations?  Are you willing to be part of the solution?</description>

		<description>REPLIES/COMMENTS
----------------

1.  Mark Steyn, the cultural observer and critic, has characterized Britney Spears as &quot;the singing slattern&quot;.  Now, if you point this out to a &quot;teen&quot;, she won&#039;t have any idea who Mark Steyn is or what a &quot;slattern&quot; is, although she&#039;ll know all about B. Speaers.

Explaining all this to a teen or better, to an &quot;adult&quot; who thinks he is still a teen (and worse - acts like one), is a task I thoroughly enjoy.  It usually shuts them up - fast.  

2.  To # 5 (Wacky Hermit):  

I&#039;m a &quot;he&quot;.  I can assure you that 30 years from now, &quot;they&quot; won&#039;t be doing any hiring.  They&#039;ll be on &quot;disability&quot; (most likely from over-eating) (Yes -  did you know you can go on &quot;disability&quot; for being obese from over-eating??) or they&#039;ll be on their 3d marriage or in foreclosure, or maxed out on their credit cards, etc.

Me and my friends (yes,there are others like me), sometimes drive up and down city streets and mock and jeer at the panoply of losers that make up our population. If I weren&#039;t so self-controlled, I&#039;d take a basket of rotten tomatoes and eggs and do a lot of hurling.   I&#039; ve also done this at college campuses and so on.  (I always do have a quick get-away just in case).


3. To # 8 (supercars):

Can you repeat what you said?  Your sentence makes no sense at all.  (Are you still in grade school?)</description>

		<description>Wacky Hermit, you said a mouthful.  People will shy away from you for being &quot;different&quot; because the &quot;don&#039;t know what to expect&quot; if you&#039;re responsible, comported (&quot;detached&quot;) and not a selfish, loudmouth basket case like them.  Majority sets what&#039;s &quot;normal&quot; and beats on anything that isn&#039;t.  (To protect against the tyranny of the majority is part of why we have a written constitution that was set up the way it was... something liberal judicial activists and other &quot;living constitution&quot; types forget.)</description>

		<description>Sentinel: and you have the nerve to call THEM narcissists!  30 years from now, THEY&#039;LL be the ones doing the hiring for the job, all your generational compatriots having died off, and they won&#039;t have any sympathy for you because you&#039;re not like what they think &quot;normal&quot; people should be.</description>
