> Bush Using Drugs to Control Depression, Erratic Behavior
31 July 2004, 22:55
Well, I can’t say I’m surprised, but it saddens me that someone that has problems like he does can’t be able to smoehow function as a leader. He’s not being coerced against his will to take medications but he is probably doing so to control anger. I would hope that he could somehow overcome his problem without drugs. I also hope this information is not used as a rationalization for coercive treatment of anyone. He should be allowed to make mistakes as anyone else is and I would hope he would be principled enough to acknowledge to them when questioned. Defeating being alcoholic is one issue but overcoming negative depressive attitudes is a whole other difficulty, best dealt with when a person decides the occasion to change. Maybe he’s doing better. I hope so. Kerry is a very positive guy and I understand his need to become president during a time of trouble. If Bush is not fully aware of his own difficulty then it’s a embarrassment, not really evil. Coercion should not be an option. Makes me wonder if his bosses threatened him or the press was too much for him to handle because he can’t coercively control them. You get what you give. If all a person does is attempt to control people, because they ask embarrassing questions then they shouldn’t be shocked when the others being coerced push back. joseph
