Reading comprehension is good, had you comprehended what I wrote you would have realized that I was referring to the all-inclusiveness of the potential disagreements that are considered valid to get one painted by you as such.
Funny how the "segment of the population" that succumbs to this made up disorder (could not seem to find it in the medical books) always appear to be diagnosed with this disease when they disagree with fanatics of political faith.
Before I was diagnosed with ODS by what I assume is a professional psychiatrist like yourself and your mentor on the subject Charles Krauthammer, I was diagnosed with BDS by a similar giant in the psychological sciences for displaying a derangement wherein I believed that Saddam Hussein did not order the 911 attacks and was not an imminent threat to the US. I was deranged because I didn't agree with Bush on war, taxes, the Unitary Executive and a whole string of social issues. I'd like to say I was cured of my Bush Derangement Syndrome, but unfortunately my case appears terminal as I still disagree with such political and ethical philosophies.
What I find interesting is that both ODS and BDS are often diagnosed as a result of the inability of the subject to adopt the same PNAC and Neoliberal policies that both politicians agree upon! (Although there are outliers, hating pie for instance is a sign of ODS but not BDS.)
I think therefore that they may be the very same disease and not separate disorders after all!
That would explain how one such as myself who was never cured of his BDS could then later be diagnosed with ODS without changing my beliefs or "derangements" as you would call them one little bit.
We may be on to something here! Thanks for the enlightening conversation!
