Therapeutic states and their Devout followers of the world will soon be homing in upon Channel 4, the UK's pre-eminent hell-raising satire TV show. Why? Because this station has recently DARED to air the kind of program that is NOT ALLOWED to be even THOUGHT ABOUT.

"Insightfully, probably 90% of today's so-called 'radicals' and 'anti-authoritarians' play right into the hands of the therapeutic state," commented Fred Flynnstone after contemplating the uproar that this article would provoke in the u.s.a. "These strategically challenged persons just show how easily manipulated they are by the actual system of things. While they whine and sow their pretty priviledged wild oats at *acceptable targets*--often quite topical in nature, they completely miss out on how they are being fooled by the professional wolves in sheeps' clothing."

"Granted, the standard disclaimer has to be spoken," said an anonymous college professor delivering pizza at 4th and Main. "We're of course not saying that there's NO actual abuse of people; we're saying that one side of the truth is not being allowed to be heard and understood, as in all hysteria campaigns."

The issue is power. Adults usually exercise power over children -- some will argue that it can be eliminated, while others say that the disparity is natural. What's plain, though, is that the exercise of power is not to be taken lightly, and in abuse cases, it's adults overpowering children that's the problem.

There's a difference between a 8 year old getting raped and a 15 year old who makes a decision to have sex. (Not to say that all 15 year olds can make this decision intelligently.)
