Evaluating Mental Issues

A person has to be a little bit crazy to think about minor daily events all the time. I believe that is  defined as excessive introspection? If someone like this, myself for example, has unrecognizable experiences and tries to detail them for a blog he must truly be "round the bend". Regardless, I'm going to give it a go.

By definition, schizophrenia is one significant the causes of impairment in the mind as it attempts to process information and sensitivity to environmental stimulus. People so diagnosed typically do not respond well to threats or to what they perceive as confusing commands. They also tend to respond badly to complex chains of information that is confusing or out of order.

Sadly, in addition to the gathering storm of mental conflict driven by advancing dementia, I apparently am beginning to experience the hint of schizophrenia in my normal day. This is mildly disturbing to me, and it probably should not. There seems to be little or no advancing or increasing signs. At this point I am trying to keep my mental issues somewhat separated in order to evaluate any changes in symptoms. That may or may not be the best way measure the effects of my natural aging or the effects of the complex interactions of the many medications prescribed for me.

Is it really necessary to constantly evaluate my obviously declining mental state? Probably not. It is, I suspect, a natural part of the aging process. There is a chance, however, that by regular evaluation I might be able to slow the declining process? Probably not, but it may particularly help me plan for the future.

We shall see.

Why Blackwater Mercenaries

Over some years the name Blackwater shows  up in the news. It is, by their own estimation, the largest mercenary group in the world. I think I first noticed it when reports from Iraq mentioned they were employed (by whom?) to escort and protect members of the Iraqi government from place to place. Then I became aware that they had joined several of the firefights between our marines and Iraqi enemies. I wondered just how these mercenaries (that supposedly came from the United States) were  hired by someone (who?) to fight? That led to the question of just who would be responsible if a situation involved the accidental killing of an innocent bystander? It  might be a little sticky for an unauthorised mercenary contracted by the United States but not a member of our military forces.  Or suppose a Blackwater type killed a military Iraqi combatant and was then captured by the enemy. Would he be treated as a spy, or as a American combatant, or whatelse...

Gloves Off

. OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS BETRAYED OUR TRUST AGAIN. Whether we are Democrat or Republican, Liberal or Conservative, makes no difference at all. Our legislators voted according to "what's best for them". It was clear that the people want to reduce the costs and improve access to our overall health care system. It was also VERY CLEAR that they did not want the 2000 page legislative monstrosity that was produced by a small number of far left liberal Democrats, who worked behind closed doors to fashion a pork filled blunderbuss that virtually no one has been able to read, or discuss, or debate, or offer alternatives to specific unreasoned clauses. It is (now) a BAD BILL , passed by BAD POLITICIANS, that compose a BAD MINORITY segment of America's out-of-control government. AND WE HAVE NO LOGICAL WAY TO PAY FOR IT EITHER. The far left liberals like to point at  SOCIAL SECURITY   as a text book success. They are wrong and will not admit it despi...

Obama With His Mask Off

      Obama 2012 The proposed medical legislation is far to complicated for me to understand. Since it requires some 2400 closely typed pages of convoluted and cross referenced text - I am sure I would forget the first pages by the time I got to page 1019 or so.  Like me, many of you probably rely on the summaries and interpretations of others.   Unfortunately, they often tend to be politically biased. Somehow this legislation has been turned into a partisan issue when it never should have been. The matter of improving Amreica's health care is important to all of us and not just the Democrats. From the beginning it has been driven by the far, far left liberals with little, if any, input from the more conservative middle. The result is a bill that satisfies no one. I first thought that the legislation was so wildly expensive and that it should be shot down regardless of it's merit. I really objected ...
