I have seen a number of family members and friends suffer and die because of drug and or alcohol abuse.<br /><br />What seemed to work to save one family member was the treatment from the Union Gospel Mission. All though this person died from complications of a life of drug abuse they at least died in a sober state of mind.<br /><br />I have no idea how qualified the leader of the federal liberal party is to recommend treatment but having watched Vancouvers idiot mayor for thew past few years I would not allow this moron to place a band aid on a scraped knee. I have never seen a less qualified individual to give advice to anyone in all of my life. Robertson is the poster child for what is wrong with all of todays society.<br />arrogance<br />political correctness<br /><br />This man is a waste of skin<br /><br />13Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242439673360261416.post-50848549896873832252010-01-16T10:01:36.335-08:002010-01-16T10:01:36.335-08:00Here's an interesting tidbit of anecdotal info...Here's an interesting tidbit of anecdotal information. <br /><br /> In a class of about 30 people attending an addictions seminar I teach, I asked how many of the participants knew someone who was currently or in the past involved with a methadone program. <br /><br />9 people raised their hands. <br /><br />I asked of those 9 people if they knew whether or not those people who were on methadone were abusing other drugs at the same time. <br /><br />All 9 people raised their hands. <br /><br />I then asked of those 9 people if any of those folks they knew to be on methadone were breaking the law to be able to buy the drugs they were abusing. <br /><br />Guess what? <br /><br />All 9 raised their hands. <br /><br />Why is this slice of reality not the same slice of reality presented by the harm reductionists? I'll leave it to you to figure out why.Gerry Verriernoreply@blogger.com
