Title: Should All Presidential Candidates Have Their Brains Scanned?
Post by: MB_722 on December 06, 2007, 11:03:02 AM
I like this story. definitely think they should.

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/12/06/should-all-presidential-candidates-have-their-heads-examined-literally/ (http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/12/06/should-all-presidential-candidates-have-their-heads-examined-literally/) the video is in the link


On Tuesday, Tucker Carlson talked with Dr. Daniel Amen, a neuropsychiatrist, about the notion that all presidential candidates should undergo brain scans before they can be elected to office. Amen uses brain scans to treat criminals and people with depression and other mental illnesses, and says they can also detect Alzheimer’s Disease up to ten years in advance of onset. He also thinks they should be performed on all presidential candidates so the public can see what, if any, predispositions they might have to criminal behavior as well as poor judgment or future illnesses.

On one hand, a brain scan may have prevented the reign of George Bush — on the other hand, it does have a certain creepy factor to it. Do we WANT to know this much about our candidates? Their physical health is always fair game, why not their mental health as well? We have a lot of great readers here at C&L and I’m curious to know your thoughts on this.

You watched a show with Tucker Carlson?

I think brain scans would expose the excessive reptillian quality of the brains of people like Bush.

Given the disastrous attrocities of the last 8 yrs., I think it should be mandatory to first determine if presidential wannabe's first even have a brain. Had that been done in the last 2000 & 2004 presidential elections, this entire planet could have been spared a whole lot of grief!

The better question is whether voters should have their brains scanned before being let into the polling booth.

If most men were scanned, the majority of those found to have a brain would have one looking like this...

Dr. Daniel Amen is a snake oil salesman. His methods have been taken to task by numerous people in his field (psychiatric and neuroscience associations and research centers have doubted his claims.) He has not been published in peer-reviewed, respectable journal.

Man is out for one thing and one thing only: money.
