General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Aw Crap... We All (Most Of Us) Stand By Barack Obama, BUT... When He's Wrong, We Will Say So... [View all]I'd rather discover these things with an actual psychologist than an arm chair wannabe. My home was also full of blind unabated ignorance. I hear the same kind of ignorant crap here on DU.
Like: " I am for having barack obama negotiate tpp, rather than bush or romney."
Thing is life is what choices you make, those choices can last a lifetime.
So, being the person that ended my own persecution, I have the ability to look ahead and make better choices as i did early on.
It's called hyper vivgilance
http://ptsd.about.com/od/glossary/g/hypervigilance.htm with the difference being that I ended my attacker/monster. I can read people pretty easy and know who's yanking my chain.
I'm also way into science and live by the scientific method, so yeah, I process multitudes of options over and over (automatically) again till I start to see a common thread.
Then I take action.
Instead of blind cheer-leading.
My parents had very lazy minds and see that a lot here on subjects that affect huge amounts of people.
So I care. Sue me.
