    Thought for the day

    I found this interesting...
     
     
    If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.


    The rate in Washington DC is 80.6 per 100,000. That means that you are 25% more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.


    Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington, DC.

    The upside to ADHD

    I've been hearing people around me lately talking about ADD and ADHD and while I understand it a little bit, like Bekke always tells me (over and over and over) again, you don't really understand it unless you go through it.  So I decided to look into it a little bit and I found this article that sheds some light on ADHD...and the upside to having it.
     
     

    ADHD is considered “context disorder,’ ” Thom Hartmann says. Hartmann, an expert on the disorder, is one of the few who saw the positive side of ADHD before it was fashionable.

    “If a left-handed person has a job cutting origami with right-handed scissors, that doesn’t mean they have a disability; they have context disorder,” Hartmann explains. “Short people trying to play basketball have a context disorder.”

    People with ADHD “may instead be our most creative individuals, our most extraordinary thinkers, our most brilliant inventors and pioneers,” writes Hartmann in his 2003 book The Edison Gene: ADHD and the Gift of the Hunter Child. He posits that the people with ADHD may carry genetically coded abilities that once were, and may still be, necessary for human survival and that contribute richness to the culture.

     

    Atleast now I understand why I'm going nuts around you people, you're living outside the box and I've been sucked in!  Oh well...I still have my own little world I can revert back to. ;)
