Dope Fiends Shoot Dope. Now what?
The Courier reports today that the enormous scam known as The Vancouver Agreement has just spent $2Million renovating slum rooms above the Insite disaster for a program being called Onsite.
It is here that hundreds of helping social workers and other misguided fools will get addicts "involved in a withdrawal discussion."
Are you listening to the language?
Do you know how many addicts I could house and clean up on$2Million PLUS $350,00 operating costs per year?
This is how far off the mark these well-meaning, meddling destructive people are:
You don't talk to addicts about "withdrawal." You talk about football and music and children and the lawn and study and the Canucks and bridge and love and you LIVE these things during the 24-48 hours that so-called "withdrawal" takes place.
The drug withdrawal is the tiniest issue in the challenge of moving on. It's everything else.
How can you get to the everything else, when you haven't even thought about it yet?
I'm going to have to stop writing about this subject soon because what the Good People" are doing is making me crazy.

Good point about talking about football, etc. I've heard that discussing drugs and drug-related issues like withdrawal is enough of a trigger to put addicts into a tailspin.
Also good point about going crazy about this subject. I feel the same. I've been following it for a long time, and the cost of our pro-drug attitude is human life and human quality of life. But when the Powers that Be....
I'm going to stop before I get started.
David,
I was just mentioning to Roy Green that when he interviews you on-air one day, there's a new issue in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside that is very telling.
As you know, our provincial government is proposing to open up rehabilitation centers in rural, isolated parts of the province, to get the drug addicts away from the bad, powerful influences that have helped devastate their lives.
These places are akin to the same kind of drug rehab facilities that wealthy people would spend tens of thousands of dollars to go to.
You'd think that everyone would be in support of this initiative, right? Wrong!! The paid members of DEPI, the Downtown Eastside Poverty Industry, are vehemently against it. Why? Well, they're citing human rights violations of the "poor drug addicts" but we all know that their objections have everything to do with where their bread is buttered. And they don't want a smidgen less of that delicious butter on their morning toast!
Robert
