But, of course! They are so well hypnotized. The same can be said of people 
on Thorazine! AA gives STRUCTURE, as does religion. Nothing really wrong 
with that, particularly since the average IQ is 100 (a tautology, I know! 
:-) All you got to do is joing this neat family of people who will listen to 
you, nurture you, and understand your terrible problems with reality. 
Besides, if you believe it's a disease, then it really isn't your 
responsibility anyway. Only problem is when these folks demand everyone else 
pop these Thorazine pills, too. Frankly, I';d ratehr be kidnapped by a grey.

Sure, along with the military, prison, and the Fortune 100.

Does this have anything to do with abductions or abduction research?

If alcoholism, drug dependency, deism, and/or diminished responsibility have a
high profile in abduction reports/regressions, I'd love to see some evidence.

If not, I hope we can leave the railing about pill-pushing to the
Scientologists.

Best,
  Clark

Clark,
  To get a full sense of my post you might want to page back and see what it 
is a response to, then you might go a little easier on me. I suppose this 
has as much to do with abduction research as my dealings with the NIS have 
to do with UFO research, which you have asked me to elaborate on.

Cheers,
--Michael

What you have stated are your unsubstantiated opinions.  How am I to refute
them?  Your response still lacks specific evidence.  I would suggest that any
"evidence" based on an unprovable "belief system" is going to be called suspect
by any scientifically based researcher, myself included.
 
It is not my place to "refute" a charge which has had no evidence presented. 
Your citation to the AA founder is an interesting account of another single
person's experiences.  It does NOT show basis in fact.
