ADHD is definitely over diagnosed and our children are overmedicated. But it does exist and for those that have it, it makes life very hard untreated.

 
Saw Spike Lee talking about how he's against the gentrification effort in NYC. Cited Washington D.C. as an example of what could happen. Said D.C. used to be called "Chocolate City".

Yea Spike? D.C. also used to be called "Murder Capital".

How can you win? You've got people complaining about the slums...so you make an effort to clean them up and you're accused of racism because you're pricing out the blacks.

My life has completely changed for the better since getting on the meds. I can't imagine living without them anymore.

 
I believe everyone from the age of 16 to 24 should have to retake their driving test and road test every year to keep their license. From 25 to 49 every 3 years. From 50 to 59 every 2 years and after 60 every 6 months.

Gentrification is tough. On one hand you want to improve areas and make them nice. On the other hand how do you keep from turning them into wealthy, primarily white, enclaves that very few can afford to live in? Torn on this one.

I can see how gentrification might be a problem in that respect if you're talking about areas that are primarily apartment buildings, but a lot of the current gentrification in DC is in areas that are primarily rowhouses and townhouses. The families that have owned those places for years are now getting filthy stinking rich- either by selling or, if they prefer, simply by staying put and watching their homes double in value. There's no loser in that scenario.

Require a mix of affordable housing in areas that are redeveloping.

That's what I would like to see.

 
I think all the slobbering window lickers who think every aspect of socialism is evil should be rounded up and forced to live in their own state, where there's no municipal snow plows, mail, garbage collection, water, sewage, police or fire protection. Everything is privatized. And the rest of us can sit back and watch with :popcorn:

Who knows, maybe it'll be a modern utopia.

 
The democratic republic isn't working. It's time for a new form of government. Of the people, by the people, and for the people has turned into of the lawyers, by the lawyers, and for the lawyers (and big business).

I feel the same way about people that believe they shouldn't pay taxes on Internet purchases but expect services none-the-less.

There's a reason none of the Founding Father's were lawyers, guy.
Until you said this, I didn't know that 35 out of 55 delegates to the constitutional convention were lawyers.

I'm amazed they were able to accomplish anything.
