You've found the blog of Jere Matlock, a web designer and writer. This journal is mostly about writing, web design and getting sites to the top of the search engines (SEO is my business). It is also full of opinions and observations about pretty much everything. If these things are not of interest to you, feel free to go now. Go on, shoo!

Still here? If you have something to say, post a comment or send me an email.

By the way, if you feel like taking offense at something posted on this site, go right ahead, it won't bother me a bit. Kingsley Amis has a nice quote about that, in which I take solace and some pride when the flames arrive:

"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing."

Psych-buster site

An acquaintance, JoJo Zawawi, has put up a site that is doing fairly well at Google for the phrase “psychiatric help“. It’s a psych-buster site, of course. Psychiatry has long since shown it has no interest in help, despite occasional claims in that direction. At some point in the process of being educated to be a psychiatrist, every young man or woman headed down that road has to realize that what they are being taught a) doesn’t make sense and b) doesn’t help and c) is actually harmful and d) rips people off royally and e) has a shameful history of violence and murder. So while I don’t think that EVERY psychiatrist you are likely to run into is evil incarnate, the ones that keep going down that road anyway after realizing those things have chosen to participate in a field that they know at some level is bogus pseudo-science. So make your own judgments about their ethics. The ones I respect are the rare birds like Dr. Thomas Szasz, who is trying to bring sanity and common sense to the field of mental health.
