About 80% of the people online that have known or encountered my posts
on various NGs from 93 to date think I'm nuts. I was taken from my
home
at the age of 16 by court order requested by my parents - removed by
police
in hand cuffs and taken to the state mental hospital for observation
and review
because of overt sexual activity and abuse of drinking a hell of a lot
of gin
every day - all done in my bedroom and hiding nothing of it all from
my
parents.
The experence of being locked up in the state nut farm was almost
enough
to send me over the edge and go raving insane like so many others
residing
there. But, after about 4 days I adapted to my environment of being
dumped
into an open ward with all the nuts running about acting profusely
insane. They
were harmless towards me and a few became very friendly with me -
especially
my roommate - who I went to high school and always wondered what
hapened
to him after he just disapeared from school, his home nor did anybody
seem to
know what happened to him. Well I found out what happened to him
now. When
I was in school with him I had a secret desire to make it with him as
he was very
much the hunk on the football team and had a great personality. But,
as I really
thought him to be 100% straight my desires remained secret. After all
it was 1959
in a little hick town in Arkansas. Well, after the third night of
sleeping with him
as my roommate in this hopin and flopin nut house clearly he was not
straight
in the lease to my great surprise.
I only spent 2 weeks there and then after the review panel talked to
me about
my problems and how to deal with them to my best advantages when free
and back
in public again they gave me a script of Antibuse for the drinking
problem and told
me to be cautious and careful about all sexual activities and do them
in a place
where my parents did not know about them - if I did such at all and to
cool it
to a normal amount for the average 16 year old male simply do anything
sexual in
a secret way. Then they released me and I went back home and did
exactly as
the review panel of doctors told me to do.
Well, that two weeks taught me a lot of things most 16 year old boys
never even
think of or know of for that matter. I needed to be stopped for my
own good and
soon I thanked my parents for what they had to do and have deep
respect for the review
panel of phychiatrists. Phychiatrists can do a good job of
normalizing people
with drugs in a varity of shapes, colors and directions for taking
them. It worked
for me!

After my life from 1966 to 1969 living in the core of actions in the
Haight - Ashbury
I became enlightened and my mind expanded to comprehend to the ends of
my
universe all I encountered, did and saw. That period of my life was
like turning
baby shit into gold as far as what I learned realizing that nothing is
imposible. I
began to see in a new way scanning all before me and understanding all
about it
as never before - still looking like that to this date in time.

Absolutely! I'll say no more on that as I'm in complete agreement.
With some people - being nuts, whackos, insane and such is what
they enjoy and it's what makes them happy. As long as they do not
hurt others and them --- I say to those sort of people - go for it and
enjoy -- just make sure you control yourself and stay loving,
respectful
---- friendly to those who desire it - and - eat plenty of pure dark
chocolate and fresh ripe blueberies to help keep your mind and
body well tuned.
