There's a huge difference.

• The kids having difficulty with their schoolwork aren't getting massive amounts of drugs pumped into their system which may or may not have been properly tested (Higher chance that they haven't been properly tested)
• The taxpayer isn't paying huge amounts of dollars to private coporations

Lots of people have minor mental difficulties that really could do with treatment. There's currently a big social stimga associated with seeking help of this kind and this needs to be changed.

I agree with this.

Of course, it could be something really sinister, but it isn't.

It's being drawn up by the people to financially benefit from it for the people who politically benefit from it ie, yes it is.

It's beyond obvious that people who make these drugs will be keen on the idea - it helps people that need it (discharging social responsibility) and makes money too (the whole point of having gambled with drug research in the first place). This is Capitalism at its best.

The average run of the mill corporate doesn't give two hoots about social responsibility. Some of the capitalists do but not enough to make a difference.

Watch The Corporation and even GT might change his tune.
