is Rove running Bush. And Harper of course has a bubbly disposition all of a sudden. And we of course know they have tried all sorts of drugs on Bush.

I read about a study once that said that drugs like prozac were hard on societies. When they gave them to low status & depressed baboons - they became un-depressed and ebullient. And then the high status baboons got all depressed. The ones on the SSRIs had a comparative advantage. And slept well. Doubt they reproduced well

It seems the same happens to people. With the wonder of effective mood enhancers - the slightly depressed change and those around them have to adjust.

But is this fair in election campaigns? Sure.I could see a Prime Minister getting depressed during war or being a low level depression kinda person. Churchill certainly suffered. We know Kennedy was on speed. I'm actually for treating Bush. I'm not against drugs for medical treatment.

When a new tool comes along it is the crafty try it out as well as the experts. And if they see they can use it - they do. Until it is legislated against.

Is this fair?

Perhaps Harper is doing Yoga. Or meditating. Or listening to tapes. Maybe he is working out.

I'm just curious?
