"It's hard enough for doctors to make a living[.]" Are you f-ing kidding me? Doctors are one of the richest professions in the US. In fact, around of 30% of doctors is in the top 1% of income earners in the US. The fact that they are turning away business should be a clear indicator that they are under little financial hardship. When's the last time you saw an adjunct professor turn down classes at a community college because s/he didn't like the students work ethic or some other thing like that? Doctors having trouble making a living, now that is rich.

What people don't seem to understand is that this medication is basically just a strong cup of coffee with a time release coating. How many of you have philosophical objections to that? There must be a lot of Mormons on this board.

Not to mention missing the opportunity to do things which require concentration, like math.

Its really easy to figure out if your kid was misdiagnosed. People without ADHD who take the medication (e.g. Concerta) have a very different reaction than, say, my kid who barely notices it but is able to concentrate in class.

Government is not a pass/fail quiz, the question "is it OK?" has no meaning. It is always as good or as bad as we make it.

As long as the casino prominently posts a sign saying that it reserves the right to confiscate any winnings that it believes are excessive, it should be able to bring charges.

Not that it ever was fun but this is getting ridiculously boring. Microsoft has a new article or press release or conference where all they do is blast the more succesfull product from another company every damn week.

Ballmer talks smack about Google's business plan even though they keep growing earnings and revenue at faster clip than MS. He then comes out and blasts Google's hiring and calls their company bloated even though Google makes more money per employee than Microsoft.

Bill Gates comes out and talks smack about the iPod and how the Zune is soooo much better and how the Zune is going to eat the iPod's lunch. Then Gates coems out and talks smack about OS X and its security flaws and how much better Vista's security is. The iPhone is announced and the Bill and Ballmer come out and start spreading nonsense about how the IPhone is going to suck because everything else out there already is so much better and how no one in business and in enterprise is going to want one.

And now the Wii is more popular than the 360 and they come out and talk crap about teh Wii's graphics when from day 1 Nintendo said the point of the console was not the graphics but the revolutionary new controller. MS looks alike a company that has no direction or leadership and all it is doing is reacting to whatever their competitors do. it is pathetic.
