Why is it that shonky scientist all over the globe think that they can use scientific journals to push their products, their opinions, and their scare-mongering “theories” on everything from child psychology to so-called global warming?

Everyone knows that it’s easy to get a science degree. Walk into the halls of any chemistry department and you’ll see nothing but ugly people in lab coats, wearing thick glasses and carrying notebooks. Try to get into a discussion with one of these people and they’ll hide behind calculations, statistics and populist theories.

The latest in the long line of tenebrous therapists is Wynford Dore, the British multimillionairre who is charging Middle Australian parents $5,000 a pop to put their kids through his hokey classes purporting to cure dyslexia, ADHD, and a bunch of other diseases made up by the big pharmaceutical firms.

What greater testimony to the incredulity inherent in the program espoused by Dore, than the fact that prominent Alan Jones-hater John Laws claims to have introduced it to Middle Australia years ago. Radio’s most contemptible man even treated Dore to a thirteen minute long on-air arse-licking session to promote Dore’s latest book, which is not even worth a mention in this glorious article.

The result of all this is that decent, hard-working Middle Australian parents are now faced with the dilemma of sending their misbehaving kids to the pharmacist, or enrolling them in Dore’s controvesial classes. Both these choices it seems, are doomed to fail.

Dosing kids up on Ritalin at a young age may be good for some, but decent parents should be very wary of giving their children drugs of any description. Reports of children selling their pills in the playground may have died down in the late nineties, but only because current affairs programs have moved on to more pressing issues, such as the incarceration of that harlot Schapelle Corby.

Drug-swapping amongst teenagers leads them down a steep and slippery spiral, straight onto much harder drugs, such as ice, heroin, and marijuana. No, leave the drug taking for the adults. What our children really need is some discipline.

Every since the so-called “discovery” of ADHD, lazy parents (particularly single mothers) have had an excuse for letting their kids run around like crazy. Reinforced by endless Naomi Robson exposees, it has indeed become the norm to have uncontrolled, undisciplined children. The pharma companies then cash in by dosing up the youth of Australia with various chemicals, lulling them into a sedate wonderland, and training them for life to turn to a bottle of pills whenever something goes wrong.

The government sits back and lets the taxes roll in, while the media revels in the high ratings they get by showing the parents who spend all of their money on booze and smokes, and don’t have time to discipline their kids properly.

Middle Australia, you should be ashamed. It’s time to put aside the child psychologists, the little bottles, and the excuses. It’s time to start getting out the belts, the canes, and the good, old-fasioned wooden spoon. The leftist, child protection antidisciplinarian naysayers can bugger off back to Scandinavia. Our children need protection from drugs, quacks and current affairs programs, and the only way to deliver that protection is through the medium of a good, firm spanking.

Toodles!
