MP>GE> Those are the same folks that write letters to the editor of the
MP>GE>local rag and make inaccurate statements about the district or
MP>GE>the budget 2 days before the election... No time or way to rebut
MP>GE>the statements! ARGH!!
MP>George, it is not just "the rags". Forbes Magazine in August(?) 1996
MP>had an article about ADHD and MPH. One guy wrote in to the editor
MP>from a town in Colorado. He said that 30% of the kids in the junior
MP>high were taking MPH. Forbes published the letter.
MP>However, the town only had one junior high. The principal read the
MP>letter and asked the nurse for the statistics. Less than 20% of the
MP>school was taking *any* type of med, and only 5% were taking MPH.
MP>Forbes did not publish the principal's letter. It was posted to a
MP>mailing list on usenet and got a pretty wide circulation.

MP>GE> Stupidity and ignorance abound!
MP>Yep, and it comes from those who are either know-nothings, or agenda
MP>ridden.
Yup, yer right, but it seems to be a bigger problem in the local
rags...
And Forbes should know better... Oh well...
Folks with an agenda scare the hell outa me!
