Reading about childhood disorders is really, really depressing. And, of course, the cause is usually "inadequate parenting." There really should be some sort of test one would have to take in order to become a parent, because CLEARLY brain power is not enough in a tragically growing number of cases.

Stan thinks there should be some form of sterilization. I think we should just provide free birth control. Oh, and keep crazy right-wing religious fundamentalists out of our school systems because they still, mistakenly, think that abstinence-only sex education works. If it worked so well, we wouldn't have so many people on welfare, or so many crazy right-wing religious fundamentalists (who never practice what they preach, anyway, so they really should just give it up).

...Sorry. Heated issue.
