Quote by Taylor Armstrong

“There is clear evidence from internal investigations in the past that some raters actually see themselves as adversaries to veterans. If a claim can be minimized, then the government has saved money, regardless of the need of the veteran. Just recently, the press exposed an official e-mail from a high-level staff person who stated in essence that PTSD diagnosis was becoming too prevalent and offered ways to delay and deflect ratings in order to save the government money.”

“The most important limitation of [clinical] guidelines is that the recommendations may be wrong... Practices that are sub-optimal from the patient’s perspective may be recommended to help control costs, serve societal needs, or protect special interests (those of doctors…or politicians, for example).”

“Political Democracy is a term which is by default a paradox and thus!, a nonentity!..For the Democratic construct, reflects the cultural norms of a specific form or type of social order, and in consequence, renders Democracies, to be highly inclusive associations which are thus!, inherently cultural expressions and not!, political proclivities!... Hence why it is imperative that before the Democratic construct can be implemented or adapted within or by a society. The society in question must first harbor certain specific cultural and thus social attributes which are Democratically compatible or compliant...Alas!, why certain cultures and societies throughout the course of history..Have not never either aspired to Democratic movements or are they today susceptible to the adaptation and integration of the Democratic propriety!".”

“As it is the case with the Democratic construct, which is inherently a cultural expression, this truth is in most part also self-evident in apropos to all variant of institutionalized coercion, rather of a political or theocratic disposition. Such as is the case in particular in non-Democratic disposed cultures, where the cultural norm for their cultivation, is most prolific and sentient. Ergo, the ensue of political severity, is not always necessarily attributed to an imposed arbitrarian polity..but rather, it can also be a self-imposed cultural property and organic form of a specific facet of cultural norm or proclivity".”
