Rampant Insanity


Friends, I need to speak with you tonight about a serious medical crisis America is now facing: PMEDS!

Over the past few months and, particularly, over the last week a significant number of Americans have come down with Post Marriage Equality Derangement Syndrome.

The symptoms are striking and tragic. People with PMEDS begin to babble irrationally and incessantly. What they say has almost nothing to do with reality as everyone else experiences it.

Linda Harvey has a particularly severe case.

It seems that a street photographer came across a young teary-eyed boy sitting on a stoop, took his picture and posted it on Facebook and asked him what was wrong. The boy replied "I'm homosexual and I'm afraid about what my future will be and that people won't like me."

One of the quirks of PMEDS is that there are glimpses of sanity that, nonetheless, then plunge headlong off a cliff into uncontrolled fantasy. For instance, Harvey grasps that a child that young probably doesn't understand what 'being gay' is all about, much less be capable of recognizing that he is, in fact, gay. But, then, Harvey leaps to the conclusion that the boy is a victim of child molestation. A more than equally possible explanation is that the boy has been bullied and taunted by his peers, because of some mannerism or his appearance, with the label 'gay' that they understand no better than the boy himself.

Then Harvey is stripped by PMEDS of any resemblance of reality: It seems that former First Lady, former Secretary of State and present candidate for President, Hillary Clinton, noticed the Facebook page and left this message:
Prediction from a grown-up: Your future is going to be amazing. You will surprise yourself with what you’re capable of and the incredible things you go on to do. Find the people who love and believe in you – there will be lots of them.
Harvey's reaction is about as far from reality as anyone could get:
No one is officially calling Hillary’s encouragement of homosexual identity and feelings in an eight-year-old child corruption, which is still a crime in most states. But they should be.
Of course, to those not suffering from PMEDS, nothing in Clinton's message constituted “encouragement of homosexual identity and feelings.” It was a simple message that what might seem to be horrible now will not seem the same tomorrow; that you have an entire future to look forward to; and that there are and will be people who love and believe in you. It would have been an entirely appropriate message to a child who was crying because he thought he was ugly or unatheletic or any of the other “failings” that children of that age think they're afflicted by.

To put an exclamation point to Harvey's flight from reality, she says:
[Clinton is] not alone in her unverifiable discovery of innate “gay”-ness.

Just last week, the editors of USA Today wrote this: “Modern science has concluded that sexual orientation, like race, is genetically determined and the court held that it deserves the same constitutional protection afforded to other immutable characteristics.”

Say again? What “science”? Quote us chapter and verse. They won’t because they can’t. It doesn’t exist.
Of course, the basic premise is unrealistic. We in the US don't just protect people from discrimination because of their “innate” characteristics. After all, nothing in any particular religion or sect a person chooses is “innate.” People can and frequently do change their religion but we nonetheless protect them from discrimination based on whatever temporary choice they have made.

More importantly, no matter how deep Harvey may bury her fingers in her ears, how tight shut she screws her eyes and how loud she hums “Nearer My God to Thee,” the simple fact is that the people who are, unlike Harvey, experts in the field, such as the American Psychological Association and the American Medical Association and a host of other scientific and medical authorities are confident, based on reams of evidence, that sexual orientation is “an enduring disposition to experience sexual, affectional, or romantic attractions to men, women, or both.”

In short, Harvey isn't within spittin' distance of reality.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for PMEDS. The best treatment to date is to simply let the syndrome run its course. Eventually, as the gap between the sufferer's beliefs and the real world becomes wider and the delusional predicted outcomes fail to materialize, the most extreme symptoms, while not disappearing, become muted and are mostly only expressed while in the company of other PMEDS sufferers.

It is a sad state of affairs but the most we can do for PMEDS sufferers is to go about our daily life in the real world and try not to point and laugh at them too much.

That's surely a misdiagnosis.

This is no crisis. This is the best entertainment we have had in years.
 
It's a (faux) crisis for them, entertainment for us

亂,比較LOW耶?!」。「錯!沒有絕對的第一名,只有對妳而言的第一名。」簡單舉例:選店就像選男友。挑男友不是只挑好看的,要挑珍惜妳的。「要為自己量身訂做」,以台北為例,如住三重、蘆洲可就近選擇中山區,光通車的時間與金錢成本,就可以抵不少檯費了。若有消費客層酒店兼差年齡較高,太年輕的姊妹反而不吃香,因為有「代溝」。中山區也有許多高質感的店家,要相信經紀公司的專業判斷,(信義區也有土台客、鄉下也有時尚男),千萬別以區域來論定一切喔!同一棟大樓有許多家酒店,或許看起來出入較複雜,但也容易聚集人氣,客流量也較高。因此要找出符合自己最優的選擇,是要專業與細心的評估,並非一窩蜂的躁進。【妳挑店家,店家也挑妳!】為了縮短適應時間,盡快投入賺錢的唯一王道,就是「事前功課」。我們給「應徵/換店」者一個想法,假設未來一週4天班每天8小時,那事前準備最少也要1/8的時間吧!最少花4小時,把「了解環境」當作一份工作來做,大部分都會找到理想的店家。當然我們會提供各環節的條件,如檯面上的(制度、檯費、4小時=24節),否則排換其他姐妹(就是酒店酒店公關術語「逼框」)。在此模式下會保障優質公關的節數收入。<>~~公關~~收入: 一節約130元至170元(十分鐘為一節/一星期上的天數越多,薪資算法越高)。尺度: 秀舞。外型: 無要求。酒量: 微量。時間: 晚場/午場(晚場7小時/午場6小時)。天數: 3天以上為上檔 (一星期)。薪資: 週薪約3.5萬至4.5萬(週領)。~~領檯~~收入: 一節約120元至160元(十分鐘為一節/一星期上的天數越多,薪資算法越高) 。尺度: 跳快舞(不需脫) 。外型: 外型甜美(不得過胖,必須比同店公關外型還優)。酒量: 中高。時間: 晚場/午場。天數: 3天以上為上檔,PT班可商談(一星期)。薪資: 週薪約2.5萬至3.5萬以上(週領)。註:較普遍的酒店類型。 【八大環境為動態演變,在酒店工作選擇對的經紀公司比選男友重要,專業的分析與酒店賺錢安排,才是讓妳可以身處安全環境下,快樂輕鬆賺到錢!】12.酒店的工作時間能很彈性嗎?一周要上幾天班呢? 若有特殊狀況,可協商【超級PT班】。【建議一周上3~4天班最佳!】即使完全沒經驗的新人,在入行1~2個月後,建議可穩定報3~4天班(可隔週輪替)。原因如下:低於此上班天數,相對收入變少,無法減輕經濟壓力上班天數)、檯面下(開會次數、行政性格、幹部話術)等等,也會告知最適合妳的方案,但最重要的是妳自己的決定與態度。但有不少公關,天天念著要換店,嘴巴100分,實際作為是0分,然後東怪西怪,全怪好店難找、經紀人不夠力等等。她們不會為了找好店做出任何改變,反倒是幻想有家店是完全為他們量身訂做,這也讓我們非常傻眼。公關J和我們團隊討論換店,她在東區禮服店待快一年,因身材沒有控制且東區競爭大,節數每況愈下,每月房租都快繳不出來,一直向我們借錢也不是辦法,且J時常設限自己,總是自問自答給自己兩難。回:「那麼,妳要不要多點時間打電話經營客人。」J:「不行,我下班想要有自己的時間。」回:「那麼,早點出門多拚一些節數。」J:「不行,我很重視睡眠。」回:「那麼,妳想辦法瘦身。」J:「不行,我一空腹容易胃痛。」回:「那麼,妳繼續在東區待著。」J:「不行,我每個月要匯錢給我媽照顧小孩。」回:「那麼,妳要不要去中山區酒店應徵禮服店。」J:「不行,我男朋友說中山區的客人都很會灌酒。」這到費用啊! (如櫃子、手環等)」 找兩家就想遇到100分的店,以為自己是幸運女孩嗎?我們帶過看最多店的,有十幾家(住台北還跑到新竹看店) 。不是她條件不好,而是透過我們解說每家不同的特性,找出適合自己第一名的店家。人生不論做甚麼決定,都會有相對成本,『有光的地方,就有陰暗的影子!』不是嗎?!就如同交男友一樣,等到交
