I’m surprised that this is news to researchers. A shrink I used to have told me he thought I had PTSD from being bullied.

Politics As Usual Scary Crazy Wingnuts
Feeling safer yet?
This is what the bozos who keep shrieking about “cutting government spending” don’t seem to get – that money’s spent on very useful things, like food safety. Oh well! The U.S. Agriculture Department announced Monday it will close nearly 260 offices nationwide, a move that won praise for cutting costs but raised concerns about the possible effect on food safety. Gee, ya think? Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the goal was to save $150 million a year in the agency’s [...]

Climate Change
Wild weather patterns
Meteorologist Dr. Jeff Masters continues to sound the alarm on our extreme weather patterns. Maybe someone in a position to do something about manmade climate change policies should, you know, do something about it? Flowers are sprouting in January in New Hampshire, the Sierra Mountains in California are nearly snow-free, and lakes in much of Michigan still have not frozen. It’s 2012, and the new year is ringing in another ridiculously wacky winter for the U.S. In Fargo, North Dakota [...]

Corporate Statism Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Cash cow

These schools are far too frequently vehicles for corruption: A Monroe County charter school has violated the state charter school law by having “improper entanglements” with a church run by the school’s founder, according to a preliminary report issued [...]

I wasn’t physically hurt by the bullies, but the teasing most certainly left deep scars on my developing sense of self. I was teased by kids because of a stutter; teased by a few adults because I went to public school and not Catholic school. Even the few friends I had at one or another time did things that said I wasn’t worthy of friendship. By college, I largely stayed to myself and inside a world I built through reading. Slowly, in college I found groups who accepted me and with whom I felt comfortable but many of these friendships rarely lasted longer than college. It still reverberates in my life, especially issues involving trust.
