NEW ON MADBOOK
Virtual Reality Psychosis is not a brand new phenomenon | But making use of VR technology in order to learn how and what other people experience is a application only newly considered | I talk about this and the importance of expanding the iea of multiculturalism beyond physically discernible indicators |
Under the category "Drug Wars" [though I may change this] is a blurb about AdBusters' discussion forum site "Prozac Spotlight" | Ultimately, it's not about the famous Eli Lilly Corp's cash crop, as much as it is about people dialoguing about mental illness, "treatment" and the difference between that and care of others | Visit the site, show AdBuster's it has a readership |
Not on Madbook, though perhaps it should be is MindFreedom's list of news articles on the Bush Administration efforts to "screen" all Americans for "mental illness" | While the whole scenario makes me think of the Sondheim play Anyone Can Whistle, for some reason, the fact that it is being played out has much darker implications than when Lee Remick and Angela Lansbury performed this comic operetta on Broadway in 1964 |

About Anyone Can Whistle "A surrealistic satire, Anyone Can Whistle proclaims the sanity of madness as well as the virtue of nonconformity. The mayoress, played by Angela Lansbury in the original production, is constantly escorted by four dancing chorus boys who provide plenty of glitter to cover up the lack of sincerity in her patronizing addresses to the townspeople | The link provided here gives you more detail |
