I've also quit taking anything for "ADD." Compared to what I've experienced while bipolar, most difficulties I have, now seem trivial. Just keep trying every day and when you feel like giving up tell yourself you haven't even started to fight. Keep a sense of humor about things too.

Putting them together, I think, gives a picture that can be interpreted. The materials I've been reading re Freedom of Information Act are written, not by G. Bush, but by those whom Administrations, present and past, have seen as 'experts' in specific areas. Thank you for asking. dr.e Dear Ralph: I try to read broadly across published speeches, and also books written from many points of view; left, right, center, et al, because each observor often chooses different words/speeches, phrases to highlight.
