If you were watching ABC’s Nightline (2/8/2008) like I was you learned how you can raise an evil dictator. And, it is surprisingly easy! All you have to do is let your baby cry themselves to sleep. At least that’s what I took away from Michael Commons a Harvard Researcher! Hopefully the terrorists won’t get any ideas now that this cat is out of the bag. Otherwise, in 30 – 40 years from now we’ll be in a lurch.
Maybe I took this at face value, but come on. How long would you have to let your child cry before the seeds for world domination took root? Supposedly this is a result of cortisol production when a child is allowed to cry for extended periods of time and how that affects the child’s personality development. In short, it increases the risk of severe attachment disorders. Collins states “Hitler was a borderline personality. And so was Saddam Hussein. It didn’t take a whole lot of Saddam Hussein’s and Hitlers to make our lives miserable.” Sounds like a stretch. It was a this point that the other researcher tried to stifle the comments, but Collins went on to say “But you’re putting yourself at risk for that.”
Well here’s the story if you’d like to learn how. Raise ’em Right!
