Howard Dully's Lobotomy

When he was 12, Howard Dully was lobotomized. Now 56, he went on a quest to find out why. Along the way, he learned the history of the procedure and met with others who have undergone it.
Great story.

The reasons for his lobotomy: he didn't want to go to bed when he was told, he daydreamed, and he'd turn on the lights in a room when it was broad daylight outside.

Maybe he wanted to join the Ramones.


Or the Democratic party.

40 years from now they will write horror stories about all the children turned into speed freaks from Ritalin.

You are so right, Cindy. It'll just be yet more witchdoctor stuff for us to be horrified about.

Howard, he was only teasing about the silly ads.

The best of your story is your rising above the unfairness of life. May we all be able to do the same.
