Anything that comes out of your mouth now is competing with all the stupid things you have ever done, their parents do the same thing. In fact you could get your grand parents to tell you "silly stories" of your parents, away from your parent of course or they'll put an end to if they can. Then you'd get a great insight into what your parents are really like. You don't know your parent till you see them as the little kids they were!
But I have seen a fear from people when talking about LD.
They are not religious but people truly fear LDing. Some people are so scared of "tampering" with their minds.
"Its not natural!" goes the argument and I'll say "but then neither is wiping your ass with scented toilet paper, so why don't you stop being a hypocrite and do it the natural way with your bare hands, I mean because natural is the only thing for you right?"lol
This is where they start searching for a smart comeback then I say,
"You know what else isn't natural reading or doing math! But you see I'm not a caveman, I need to harness the power of my mind and not let it run crazy over my life so I can be a fully functioning and civilized member of the world."
Actually considering how much our minds are needed, more in more, in our fast passed technological world, it is a huge wonder how few do anything to improve their minds and still function at all!
