One news story over the weekend that really made me laugh was this. It's the juxtaposition that does it - 'Go to anger management classes or get
shot.' A wondrous collision of worlds is evidenced here - the world
where 'therapy' (i.e. counselling) is the solution to every problem, and
the world where shooting out someone's knees is deemed equally
effective. When even the kneecappers are invoking anger management as a
viable alternative to their traditional methods, Therapy has surely
conquered the world. 'You appear to have issues around managing your
anger and we would advise you to seek professional help in addressing
them. Or we'll blow your knees off. In a caring, non-angry, non-judgmental way, of course.'

Perhaps the Republican Action Against Drugs organisation is thinking of ways to raise finance in these hard times. Our local anger management expert charges £620 to the crosspatches who attend his courses. Not so much therapy, more entrepreneurial ingenuity perhaps.
ReplyDeleteYou could have a point there, Mary - they've been a bit quiet on the bank-robbing front lately...
