John asked us not to get snarky when we considered the source of the mental illness story was China's Xinhau News Agency. But really...what are their motives for that article? Are they anticipating a Western article on the psychopathology of living under the Chinese dictatorship? Is this a pre-emptive strike? And do we forget the Cold War claims that there was no madness or homosexuality in the Worker's Paradises? Carol nailed this one I think. Export the DSM IV to China for a decade and see how many hundred million nuts they have. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
