Yeah...Nobody has a reason to 'fund' any other of the 'left's'(?) policies...like the NDAA, and drones, and Guantanamo, and Solyndra, and Afghanistan, and Citizens United, and the Patriot Act(btw, authored by Biden in '95-'96, BEFORE 911), and Obamacare....nobody who had anything to gain, by funding those wonderful blunders, never reaped a benefit, or made a dime!!
Meanwhile, psychiatrists(especially) are going to back, something they can write a prescription for, and recommend drugs to alleviate symptomatic relief...whereas certain counselors tend to want to dig into the causes of those things....and then you've got the Bozos, who counsel, against known science and psychology, patting them on their heads, ...which understandable...but to promote a sexual practice as a civil rights issue, and turning it into a political policy, thinking it is of the same nature, as a man and a woman raising their own kids, and calling it 'marriage'??

Now just to call your attention to the obvious...(sorta when you can tell when it is built on an agenda)......these quasi-'studies'...report t5hat kids who are raised by homosexuals are 'just fine'...not too many bad side effects...right?.....and of course they've watched the progression of at least three generations, right??....BzzzzT...Wrong!!...At best, the 'study' is incomplete then, isn't it?? That's as silly as saying that the Holocaust had no psychological effects on Jewish kids, of the next generation..or two....but it did, and does.
Now you can bury your heads in the sand, and stop up your ears, as not to consider those aspects...or even address them...because it might be a bit 'inconvenient' for your in depth 'caring'....but then, hey, are you really going to base your 'concerns' on bad science, and counseling for a 'trend' d'jour??
I'd say give it more OBJECTIVE, long view observation, before I'd issue 'results and findings'.....shit, those 'researchers' make more on writing those opinions, than a good author of a good book!
Now if I was saying this to another counselor, who didn't cave in on the pressure, but stuck to what we REALLY know...we would totally understand....but being as I am not, I don't suspect you'd get it....nor do I feel a particular need to prove it. It is what it is.

Now, that being said, you keep bugging me about being a counselor...well in fact I have done some...and very well when I do...but that was not the main reason I studied, as I've posted before...and I've got news for ya'....for all those who think that even the most 'sensitive and benevolent' counselors, who are so 'calm' and 're-assuring' have their own opinions and observations, rolling around in their heads, and even muse about it...or have any private 'dot connecting', that might sound 'out of YOUR perception, of what YOU think that we are about, have another thought coming! I'm not the one, who's head is coming from a political stance, and working my way down!
