Very true George. My main objection is that counselling has become an industry and an over priced one at that.

The wisdom of the older generation what listened to and appreciated... Now we pay people to be our extended family and our village elders... Strange way of doing things, if you ask me!

I can't imagine ever having to resort to unloading my innermost privacies to others. Someone suggested it was a male thing to have been programmed from birth to cope with ones own problems privately. Could be a lot in that. A lot of these strange therapy ideas originated in America like the funny religious sects did.

Too true, those folks think their advice is so new and wonderful and most of it is just common sense, which is sorely lacking in much of society anyway... or why would most folks even need any counseling? :) Just another soggy Seattle Sysop. -----Original Message----- From: Jim SHARPE [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 8:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [GEN-FRIENDS] from today's Telegraph Very true George.
