Well... I'm Bi-Polar and I appreciate science. Or at least I try to.
I know embarassingly little science, but I appreciate it in the sense that I am in no way anti-science. I'm very pro-science. I think science is awesome.
Well, that's the sort of thing I was alluding to. Currently she gets SSI and a foodstamp card, does not work. Her life is paid by the government basically. There have been conflicting reports from several different doctors, one says that she is not capable of living by herself and the other says that she manipulates people to get what she wants and that she is very capable if she so desired.
I live with my sister to try to keep her company and to keep her out of the rehab as she gets depressed. Though there is evidence that sometimes she fakes being sick to go to rehab so that she can have them take care of her and not have to worry about simple-life problems. (This was discussed with my parents during a family meeting)
Of course, I don't pay her rent and I am currently unemployed but if I could get hired with reasonable pay I'd be working just to keep me from stressing at home. It's very stressful when you have to deal with police and such.
Anyway, besides that she has no respect for science. It's sad.
