Children and drugs
@ 24/07/2006 – 17:07:32
Around 30.000 children in the UK are prescribed Prozac. Well over 300.000 children are prescribed Ritalin, a drug related to amphetamine (incidentally Kurt Cobain used to take that as a child and see what happened to him).
Why do we need to sedate our children? Yes, their behaviour improves but at what cost? -
Reporting from Israel
@ 24/07/2006 – 16:29:07
Although the BBC is relatively sane compared to other TVs there are instances when I feel a bit uncomfortable.
One example is last weeks lenghty reporting of British evacuees from Lebanon. Although it's very good news to know they are safe and well I thought that to know what they were eating and so on was a bit OTT considering the overall situation.
I thought it was just me but thanks to the powers of information of the net I've found somebody else (a lot more qualified than me) who shares the same view.
As this guy is a freelance journalist who lives in Israel his website is packed with articles and pictures.
