Great Quote of the Day

Academics love pathologising things as that leads to grants for 'further study', psychologists love it because they can make a fortune as 'counselors' treating the afflicted, lawyers love it when academics pathologise something as that means a company can be sued for causing someone to 'catch' a 'recognised syndrome', and of course politicians love it because that means clearly there is something here that must be regulated and perhaps even taxed more to discourage it.
