You're not part of ABC's target audience... Slack-jawed simpletons who lack the mental capacity for independent thought, and busy urban hipsters whose 60-hour work and 60-hour clubbing schedule leave no time for independent thought. Doing the news is so much easier when you can just tell people what to think!<br /><br />And popular psychology is popular for the same reason: because people like to be reductive, even about a subject as infinitely complex as human beings. It's also popular because it invites a feeling of superiority in the reader: "Wow, look how messed up those 'loonies' are. Suddenly my alcoholism doesn't seem so deviant anymore!" It really reads more like something I'd expect from the Daily Mail, not ABC. <br /><br />Bottom line, I like how you think and how you write, especially here.

I am concerned that this "...Well Written Grim. I am concerned that this "documentary" and the resulting media attention it is generating is going to bring quite a bit of unwanted attention to the looner community. Things could be a bit uncomfortable for those of us with the fetish for awhile.fredohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936064228024690821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722146709760787068.post-43121958789307966802012-08-17T16:37:25.011-07:002012-08-17T16:37:25.011-07:00You are so cool grim!
