Moral reasons not to do drugs

Blood on the streets of Ciudad Juarez
Not doing drugs is a moral imperative

12/7/09

Doing illegal drugs kills people.  Maybe not you.  Maybe not anyone you know personally.  But the drug wars that go on in Afghanistan and Mexico and elsewhere to control the illegal drug trades are deadly.  Just look at what life is like in Ciudad Juarez!  If you are doing illegal drugs, you are responsible for what is happening there.  Don’t want those deaths on your conscious?  Then DON”T DO ILLEGAL DRUGS!  And by the way – these wars are spilling over into America.  So get your moral head on straight.  Doing illegal drugs is not a harmless crime.

Ok. So, we have US Senators committing violations of the
Logan Act and we have all sort of senators trying to convert health care

And their actions are totally consistent with historic policy promoted by the
Family. And in case you aren’t family with The Family, I suggest you read the
book. Basically, all the crappy foreign policy debacles the US has been
involved in are the Families fault.

A discussion on the continued problem of segregation in America

Sept 30 2004

Author’s Note:  I was asked to write this essay about my thoughts on how to solve this persistent problem.  My way of viewing this issue is novel and hopefully, non-offensive.  But, because this is a sensitive issue, I ask that regardless of your individual prejudices, you read this with an open and honest mind.  It is likely that my way of thinking about this issue, and my suggestions for how to deal with it will require a re-adjustment in your thinking to understand and implement.  So be patient in your reading, and honest with yourself, and please don’t jump to conclusions about my underlying assumptions.  I don’t have a hidden agenda and my only prejudice is against people who are stupid on purpose (i.e. those who had an opportunity to be educated but didn’t take advantage of it.)  Thanks for your patience, Jennifer Hancock
