Indigo RageBoy

Chris Locke writes about "Indigo Children," a meme reported on by the New York Times. The Indigo idea sounds like it pushes a whole bunch of buttons all at once — New Age, angels, the paranormal, child-worship, ADD. If it had some anti-child-porn hysteria about it, it'd be perfect. As one of the people in the NYT article says, this is basically the same social world view as Harry Potter's muggles v. wizards set up.

Anyway, it is a great example of what Chris has been talking about over at Mystic Bourgeoisie, America's Toughest to Spell weblog. [Tags: chrisLocke rageboy indigoChildren]

It sounds like some of these fakers have been reading Childhood's End.

This Indigo Child thing is going together very well with the anti-psychiatric-medicins theme of Scientology.

I see it here on Israeli websites and forums whenever Ritalin is mentioned.
