illness. Now I see why OK went for Chimpy.

1. Treated or untreated?

I mean how did they come to that number?

And is this just flame bait, because you've got to be aware of the fact that perfectly decent Okies are here on DU, right?

4. Argh. NO not flame bait...I'm an Okie embarrassed by my neighbors!

:eyes:

2. I think that number is kinda low

from listening to WKY, KTOK, and the other local stations callers supporting bush.

by examining the repub leaders in the state???

6. I've lived in Tulsa since my birth

It's a hell hole. Like I mentioned in a post a while back. Arguing with a fellow Okie about politics is tantamount to wiping your ass with your hands. I want to move to Oregon. I just need a reason.

8. I live in Norman and

personally I think that it is higher. But at the same time, I think that the national average is around 10% - 15%. More if you include depression and other mild illnesses.

9. Yeah, and it always seems...

That I always get stuck behind them in traffic when I'm trying to drive anywhere in Tulsa.

11. Could This "News" Be Related to Mental Health Screening for All?

I wouldn't be surprised if similar news stories were carried tonight by local network affiliates all over the country. It may be laying the groundwork for intrusive mental health screening that serve at least two purposes: medicating the population into complacency and reaping huge profits for the pharmaceutical industry.
