PoliSat Rhymes about...
Victimhood.
(To go to our main page for Victimhood, click here.)  (Go to Index to PoliSat Rhymes)

A nation of whiners (limerick 20000703-01)
    The mental-health industry claims 
    one-third of America's brains
    Perceive modern life 
    as so full of strife, 
    they're stressed-out again and again.
    We don't face oppression or slav'ry, 
    and rarely we need to show brav'ry.
    So those who profess 
    they have too much stress 
    should go to see Brave Heart or Patriot. 
© 2000 --Inspired by 07-03-00 Fox News report that a 1996 "study" by mental-health "experts" shows that one-third of Americans "felt close to a nervous breakdown" or "had a mental health problem."

National Anxiety Disorders Screening Day.. Nanny government to the rescue .
(A limerick inspired by a news story on 05-01-00) (du20000503-01).
    Today we screen border-to-border 
    for National Anxiety Disorders
    We sit on our fannies 
    while government nannies 
    suggest that we self-reconnoiter
    Such do-gooders think we are dopes 
    who need help from them just to cope.
    Too many folks 
    are wearing such yokes 
    down victimhood's slippery slope.
    To those who think modern life's tough, 
    I say you just lack the right stuff
    Our predecessors 
    were good self-assessors 
    who didn't have time for such fluff.
    By thinking we're mentally ill, 
    such prophesy will be fulfilled
    We become sheep, 
    the land of the weak, 
    who just cannot cope without frills.

Let Me Into the Gold Rush (tune of Take Me Out to the Ball Game)
(Re: multi-million-dollars punitive-damages award against "Big Tobacco"-- FoxNews 03-27-00)(20000327-01)
    Let me into the Gold Rush, I can claim victimhood
    I shouldn't have to use common sense, just give me all those dollars and cents
    So it's sue, sue, sue Big Tobacco, if I don't win it's a shame
    And just give those big-bucks to me, I accept no blame.
