I don't know how many Ridliin distributers we have here, but at the risk
of getting flamed, I'd like to throw out this thought JD did not have
ADD. Simply because its all a farce. Seven million children taking a
drug more addictive than cocaine, simply so their parents don have to
parent. Trust me if Ridilin had been around back then, both Buddy and
Holden would have been on it, and they would have both have simply
stared ahead at the future in a drug induced haze.
