A Good Read, Mind You

Just read an awesome article in The Atlantic. I don't even know which way to start thinking about it--psychologically, socially, psychologically...

Anyway, maybe you'd better just read it.

"A liberal trying to lose a pound a week, for instance, can punish herself for missing her goal by having $100 donated to the George W. Bush Presidential Library."

I would utilize this brilliant scheme except for the certainty of sizable donations to conservatives I disapprove of.

I really liked the article, especially the part:

One woman got a settlement of more than $2 million after alleging that her psychotherapist had used suggestive memory “recovery” techniques to convince her that she had more than 120 personalities, including children, angels, and a duck.

A duck?!? Anyway. Your link points to page 3 which had me read the article from page 3 to page 2, realize my error and then read page one, because the "next" button is for losers. (For the record, that was the cocky Lars talking, and this is the silly Lars being embarrassed and admitting it)
