Every time I hear the name Ritalin I do a slow burn. My parents put me on the drug when I was eight. It was pretty much the doctor saying, "He's hyperactive," my parents agreeing and the doctor whipping out the prescription pad.

There is no rage, pain or panic in any of these venues, and no wild laughter either. There are only the muttered discontents of the well favored...
