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."  |  |  | |

The message Felix (a name which means “happiness” in Latin) gives is this: “… he has let go of the despair that followed the loss of his leg. ‘There was a lot of apathy and grief going on those 12 years,’ he said. ‘I could be bitter at the guy for pulling out in front of me. But ultimately we’re all responsible for whatever happens to us.‘ Something I couldn’t agree with … New video on mandatory mental health screeningFriday, May 1st, 2009I’m of the opinion that mandatory mental health screening is nuts. There are politicians and lobby groups from the APA and Big Pharma in Washington DC right now pushing “The Mother’s Act”, which should really be called the “Medicating All Mothers” Act. The real purpose of this lobbying effort is to get a whole new mandatory class of people who must take psychiatric drugs, to expand the market for Big Pharma and their incredibly profitable and dangerous psychotropic drugs. Get informed, starting with this video from CCHR. Get active in calling and writing your elected representatives and tell …
