Speaking of the Brits…

I was clicking around on a British newspaper site yesterday when I happened on one of those ‘ask the experts’ type columns.

Apparently, a mother wrote in about her 14 yr. old daughter who wasn’t attending school regularly…she was, in fact, not attending at all anymore.

The ‘expert’ informed the mother that the daughter was suffering from a recognized disorder termed SR Disorder. Apparently this devastating disorder is becoming all too common and the parents were advised to seek professional treatment in the hopes that the daughter would eventually be well enough to return to a productive life.

Oh…what does SR Disorder stand for?

School Refusal Disorder. It’s a clinical diagnosis. Really.

The Brits have surrendered hook, line, and sinker to the PC, Leftist, Dhimmis in the EU and their own Labor Party. So ends one of the greatest, most positive influences the modern world ever knew.

Good night Britain.

the more daunting and insoluble the big challenges in life appear,

It should be added that it is the “more daunting and insoluble the big challenges in life FOR OTHER PEOPLE that appears, the more people and govs obsess on a lack of perfection to their standards.

It’s easy to demand perfection to your standards when you are spoiled and pampered and it is only the servants and serfs that are going to get their teeth knocked out trying to fulfill your wishes.

As somebody once pointed out to me, the more daunting and insoluble the big challenges in life appear, the more that people (and government bureaucrats) obsess on the small and irrelevant issues in life.

And now the poor guy is probably violating some law about how much rubbish he’s allowed to have in his bins …

Families in Russia starved, men, women, and children died while Stalin’s Five Year plan had perfectly good grain rotting in silos, unable to be transported because the bureaucracy just didn’t seem to get to it in time for one reason or another.

People care, Book, they really do. Fake liberals even more. They care that if other families are starving because of the government policies they themselves have put into place, that those families would have the good grace to drop off the face of the Earth without making a public nuisance of themselves.
