Why isn't OCD or asthma a fad, but apparently AS/HFA is?

I believe it's a fad. And I place much of the blame on the phony "liberal" bourgeois for this. Keep in mind, i'm more to the "left" on just about every issue than the vast majority of so-called liberals in this country. I don't care how much they agree with me on the social and cultural issues, I still see through their vomit-inducing hypocrisy.

You see....these type of "liberals" claim a United colors of Benetton love of diversity.

After all....one can no longer proudly pin a good guy/girl to their lapel these days unless they pay lip-service to the importance of respecting and supporting "diversity".


However....the line is drawn at cool diverse groups and individuals. The black person who makes snappy hip-hop music these liberals swoon over is cool. He's the first one on the liberal VIP list...cuz' that's a covenient way for them to flaunt their "diversity" credentials. The same liberals who are sure to call the police when the homeless black Vietnam veteran dares set foot in their neighborhoods.

Ditto for Aspies....let's show how "diverse" and "inclusive" we are by asking that quirky-but-brilliant Aspie Actuarial to the office Christmas party. Later on we can sneak a few good laughs at the Down Syndrome kid who bags our groceries at Piggly-Wiggly. We would never DREAM of inviting HIM to our party. More importantly....we would never DREAM of advocating for him like we do for the "cooler" black, gay and Aspie folks. After all....THEY have something to OFFER us. THEY make great music we can dance to and wear hip clothes. THEY DESIGN the hip clothes and show us how to redecorate our homes in Marin county. And THEY make computers scream and tell us all sorts of neat stuff about science.

But woe unto the less glamorous, sexy and "useful" diverse ones. Woe unto the millions of poor black Americans who, for all intents and purposes, aren't even ALLOWED in Marin county. Woe unto the gay guy who just drives a taxi for a living and can't tell you anything about the latest fashions. And woe unto the "low-functioning" autistic who can't work wonders with computers or tell you about all about the electron wave model. The much-heralded "love of diversity" stops with these "untouchables".

Needless to say.....Madison ave. and big business in general picked up on this fad shortly after it's inception.

In fact...i'm surprised there's not a pop group made up of nerd-chic sexy Aspie Wunderkinds yet. Then the "liberal" entertainment media could wax poetic about what a triumphant step this is for "diversity".
They could tell us about how wonderful it is that those with autistic spectrum disorders have finally arrived, following in the footsteps of their female, African-American and Homosexual brothers and sisters.

Meanwhile....millions of blacks and hispanics remain in grinding poverty and millions of unsexy and "useless" mentally ill people remain homeless (many of them Vietnam Vets....so much for "honoring the troops" eh?) and millions of "low-functioning" people with neuropsychological differences are essentially without services and any chance of improving their circumstances.


So ain't that America eh? And ain't that the smug and contemptible frauds who have the unmitigated audacity to call themselves "liberals"?

I come from an extremely liberal part of western MA, and I absolutely hate that liberals think of themselves as somehow more "open minded" than conservatives.
In my high school, if you declared yourself to be anything but insanely liberal, everyone immediately asked, "Wait, are you a republican?" as though someone with a differing view point was somehow the bad guy. Now, I'm not a republican, and I absolutely hate both of the mainstream parties, but I think there's something inherently wrong with the "good guys and bad guys" thing we have going on.
Liberals are no more open minded than their conservative counterparts.
I had a high school art teacher who was talking about how he loves my town, because he used to teach at a catholic all-boys school, and they were all very religious, conservative, and closed minded; he loved our town because people were so much more "accepting," here.
I raised my hand and told him that we are no more accepting, we simply agree with him. Where in his old school he was shunned for being a liberal, here he is embraced. But if any of the catholic boys tried to join the school over here, they would be ostracized, hated, total outcasts...
Not that it's in any way bad to fight for the rights of genocide victims, the gay community, the autistic community, etc etc. But to say that one system (that doesn't accept the other, and hates it back with just as much fire) is "open minded," is simply being naive...

This is true for so many things.

Needless to say in America the shallow. Actually things aren't much better in other countries like France considering the way they fawn all over the so-called "intellectuals".


You know..... famous philosopher or writer="intellectual".

Top notch auto mechanic or machinist=blue collar nobody

What annoys me the most is the hypocrisy of many self-described liberals and conservatives. Actually I don't find conservatives to be less hypocritical, they're just hypocrtical in regards to their own self-proclaimed convictions.

For example...take many pro-war conservatives. Those who thought the foreign policy ideas of the Bush administration and the neocons were just peachy.

"Supporting the troops" doesn't just involve placing a yellow ribbon on the antenna of hummer.

Last time I checked, it involves some degree of SACRIFICE and considering the number of homeless vets in this country (supposedly around 250,000 Vietnam vets are homeless) i'd say there's not much genuine "support" or sacrifice going on.


Millions of middle class and rich Americans seem to conveniently forget that they're among the most fortunate souls who've ever walked the earth.

You see....the poor dears....they MUST have somekind of a neurological impairment or something. I say this because they seem to have a very inconsistent memory. In fact...I think many of them should undergo some neuropsychological testing, because their memory seems to display as much "scatter" as many of us autistics do on IQ tests.

I mean it's really strange....on one hand, their memory seems quite Eidectic when it comes to everything written in the bible about homosexuality, "unbelievers", the "choosen people" status of the Israelites, etc.....

But they seem downright amnesic when it comes to ANYTHING written in the bible, even things supposedly said by Jesus himself, that demand PERSONAL SACRIFICE.

You know.....things like...."TO THOSE WHO MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS EXPECTED".


Weird huh?

Anyway....one particular example of this kind of "support" sticks in my mind to this day.


Not long after the Iraq war began, I remember seeing an interview with some upper middle class soccer mom on the nightly news.

This women was a stauch pro-war conservative and made no secrets about it.

She had two college-bound sons who were quite eligible for military service. She literally came out and admitted that even though she fully supports the war, she didn't think HER sons should have to serve.

In other words...the poor and expendable subhumans who "aren't doing anything better with their lives" should do the all the actual bleeding and dying. Her little darlings should be getting drunk at sports bars while she flies an American flag on her porch.

I'm sure her mentality is shared by countless people in the "pro-war" crowd.

Really....I don't have the words to express this sort self-entitled, hypocritical and as far as i'm concerned, downright sociopathic mentality.

I happen to believe we should expand the definition of anti-social personality disorder. If we did, I think we would find that millions of technically law-abiding, gainfully employed, "good citizen" little Eichmanns among both "liberals" and "conservatives" would meet the diagnostic criteria.
