More Drug War History

Dear Editor
The American public’s feeding frenzy on the political garbage of “The Drug War “ can only be equaled in folly by the Babylonian Empire’s attempt to build a tower to Heaven or only surpassed by the Jewish council of 2000 years ago that convinced the Roman governors of Judah to crucify a carpenter from Nazareth because he turned over a few tables in the temple. These governmental acts were very popular.

The politician’s cry that the drugs are the “scourge of the nation” is applauded by almost all, but how far is this rhetoric from the country minister who preaches from a half full church about the evils of non-attendance on Sunday.

Drug addicted people anger, scare, frustrate and totally confuse us. We often think if we could only stop that person or this person from using one or many drugs, everything would be o.k. Politicians, journalists, media and sometimes ministers take advantage of these basic human emotions to create cheerleaders for their own agenda.

Today Noriega is in the hands of the DEA to be brought to trial. The cost is more than a score of our finest young men dead, several hundred men wounded, 25,000 Panamanians homeless and several hundred dead. This is only the loss of life and suffering. My question is how many of you out there in fantasyland believe that one drug addicted person changed his/her habits as a result of this very costly exercise in political haymaking.

So goes the “War on Drugs”.

I find the following to be appropriate and true.

The only person more insane than the drug addict that continues to use drugs is the person trying to make him/her stop.

Inaugural Address

Genesis 11 3-4

3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

Love him or loathe him, he nailed this one right on the head, some may think

Words of Weirdharold
These are not the words of Rush Limbaugh (It is my belief). He is reading from the neocon handbook. This is this first line of attack on the Social Security system, as we know it. We going to turn this over to Dubya buddies on Wall Street. We are turning this country back over to the same people that had it when Social Security was started.

It would really be nice if we did not send children into harms way based on falsehoods.

Words of Thich Nhat Hanh (pronounced Tick-Naught-Han) He is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk
“Do not accumulate wealth while millions are hungry. Do not take as the aim of you life fame, profit, wealth, or sensual pleasure. Live simply and share time, energy, and material resources with those who are in need.”

The words read by Rush Limbaugh, he that deserves not to have his medical records subpoenaed, are posted below.By Rush Limbaugh:

I think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the September 11 casualty and those who die serving our country in Uniform are profound. No one is really talking about it either, because you just don’t criticize anything having to do with September 11. Well, I can’t let the numbers pass by because it says something really disturbing about the
Entitlement mentality of this country. If you lost a family member in the September 11 attack, you’re going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million.

If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable.

Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there’s a payment of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt.

Keep in mind that some of the people who are getting an average of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million are complaining that it’s not enough. Their deaths were tragic, but for most, they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Soldiers put themselves in harms way FOR ALL OF US, and they and their families know the dangers.

We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the same deal that the September 11 families are getting. In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are now asking for compensation as well.

You see where this is going, don’t you? Folks, this is part and parcel of over 50 years of entitlement politics in this country. It’s just really sad. Every time a pay raise comes up for the military, they usually receive next to nothing of a raise. Now the green machine is in combat in the Middle East while their families have to survive on food stamps and live in low-rent housing. Make sense?

However, our own U.S. Congress voted themselves a raise. Many of you don’t know that they only have to be in Congress one time to receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per month. And most are now equal to being millionaires plus. They do not receive Social Security on retirement because they didn’t have to pay into the system.

If some of the military people stay in for 20 years and get out as an E-7, they may receive a pension of $1,000 per month, and the very people who placed them in harm’s way receives a pension of $15,000 per month.

I would like to see our elected officials pick up a weapon and join ranks before they start cutting out benefits and lowering pay for our sons and daughters who are now fighting.

“When do we finally do something about this?” If this doesn’t seem fair to you, it is time to forward this to as many people as you can.Submitted by a member via e-mail
