Some persons rightfully maintain
that prison, job termination are still the main and best solution to
this problem of alcoholics, drug abuses too .. for my being kind to the
UNREPENTANT wicked, bad, no good persons is really now still a complete waste
of time, energy, effort for without real negative consequences neither they or
the others tempted to follow them they will not tend to readily positive
change, for their own good or the good of others.
(Isa 26:10 KJV) Let favour be
showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of
uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the
LORD.11 LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall
see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine
enemies shall devour them.
(Hab 2:5 KJV) Yea also, because he
transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who
enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but
gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all
people:
Drugs, Drinking and driving
still do affect the number of road deaths, and alcohol is still a factor in at
least a quarter of all fatal collisions. In 2003, more than 200 people died
and 500 were seriously hurt in drunk-driving collisions in the province of
Ontario's roads alone
"Sat Oct 22, 3:46 PM ET OTTAWA
(CP) - In a corner of Senator Marjory LeBreton's office sits an arrangement of
fresh white roses, daisies and lilies from Brian and Mila Mulroney. The
card is marked: "The sun will shine again." The sun is obscured by a tragedy
for LeBreton that seems to have no end. LeBreton, who worked as Mulroney's
appointments secretary, lost a daughter and grandson nearly 10 years ago to a
drunk driver named Matt Brownlee. Brownlee is a nephew of Bonnie Brownlee and
Bill Fox, the husband and wife team who worked as press secretaries for former
prime minister Mulroney and his wife, Mila. Matt Brownlee, who served seven
years for drunk driving causing the deaths of Linda LeBreton-Holmes and her
12-year-old son, Brian, in suburban Ottawa was again charged this month with
drunk driving and driving without a licence. The new charges against Brownlee,
33, have not been proven in a court of law but have re-opened old emotional
wounds. "I was stunned at the news," said the Conservative senator known for
fierce loyalty to Mulroney and being the former prime minister's eyes and ears
in Ottawa. "I'd tried to put it at the back of my mind because it's been
almost 10 years since my daughter and grandson were killed . . . And I am
angry." LeBreton, who serves as the national chair of Mothers Against Drunk
Driving, thinks Brownlee should be declared a dangerous offender and locked up
indefinitely. "My goodness, they just don't get it," said LeBreton. "They're
treating this as if it's a public relations exercise and somehow or another
there's a story to be told on behalf of Matt Brownlee. "It's never him, and
it's never them, it's the system that let him down, and I was actually quite
angry when I read that because not once in that whole article was there any
remorse or any regret for what he's done." LeBreton says she is
frustrated by a weak justice system and has been working on a bill to lower
the allowable blood alcohol level for driving to 50 milligrams of alcohol per
100 millilitres of blood from the existing 80 parts. She says such
countries as France, Germany and Australia have already moved to the lower
level."
"Ottawa — Pierre Tremblay, the former
Liberal aide who later ran the corrupted taxpayer's paid Canadian
Federal government's sponsorship programming in Ottawa Ontario, died a
tormented man said a close friend said in a television interview, Claude
Lamontagne was close to Mr. Tremblay. Mr. Tremblay testified in private
about the corruption before a parliamentary committee, but died in 2004 before
he could testify at the subsequent Gomery inquiry into the scandal. Mr.
Tremblay was chief of staff to then-public-works-minister Alfonso Gagliano
from 1997 to 1999, in the early days of the sponsorship program that also
aimed at raising the federal presence in Quebec before it became abused by the
Liberal party members themselves. Mr. Tremblay was the bureaucrat in
charge of the program from 1999 to 2001. Mr. Tremblay witnessed
irregularities, but refused to divulge them before and next Mr. Tremblay
died from diabetes after battling alcoholism," Brain damaged Alcoholics
running governmental programs was and is still always unacceptable, he Pierre
Tremblay should have rightfully been terminated, fired, been dismissed long
time ago too and with no severance pay too."
Verbal, Physical abuse,
Disrespect of any persons, self included is immoral, unacceptable
wrong and is in the same unacceptable category of Cheating, Lying,
Stealing, Tax evasions. These days you
also so got to supervise daily even the politicians, even the civil and public
servants now as well, for it seems they will all run back quickly to
their old tricks.. to their even bad habits of drunkenness, cheating, lying
and stealing, and wrongfully next also they think they can get away with it.
Clearly we as citizens have wrongfully elected too many thieves, liars,
drunks, alcoholics into political offices... and they all now should still be
fired, removed, recalled ASAP.It is also really not acceptable that we
let the people who are the real accomplices of the abuse the taxpayers
money, the existing inadequate poor supervisors in the governments, civil and
public services to stay employed, and they rightfully also rather now should
immediately all be fired.. in fairness now even all of them.
The Public exposure and prosecutions
of the guilty persons starting rightfully at the top, but goes down to the
bottom as well serves everyone's best interest and is continually
mandatory for everyone's best and good welfare. All it takes for evil to
prosper is for the good people to wrongfully do nothing about it.
You know that even when
any crown corporation too now does not perform rightfully I really
rightfully recommend to the Ministers, government that their budget be
severely cut till the managers and the subordinates do get their whole House
in order..
I have really also learned from personally observing many persons
the last 35 years that there tends to be no such thing as a little bit
pregnant, that to open the barn door a little bit, left
unrestrained, undisciplined, unsupervised, means the barn door
next will eventually swing wide open.. and when any person tends to
personally allow, start a little acceptable vice, abuse, eventually the other
even bigger vices, abuses do now also tend to grow, develop there as
well.. and yes while some deny it they too all thus next can be easily
discovered, even though the guilty persons too often will deny this..
and this includes even now next the vices of pre-marital sex, sodomy,
polygamy, alcoholism, gambling, adultery, drunkenness, bingeing,
gluttony, gouging, self-destructive behaviors, selfishness, indifference,
apathy, jealousy, anger, hate, envy, rudeness,
irritability or grudges , lust, cussing, cheating , addiction, shoplifting,
stealing, tax evasions and even the others abusive behaviors of bullying,
racism, discrimination, pride, lying. Many people lie to others and
falsely deny they have a personal problem. You see one of the
major problem about lying is one next tends to believe in one's own lie
as being the truth when they still are not the truth,
and one does do becomes personally partially often next even insane for
lying. ... And most people still do even lie every 3 to 5 minutes
they undeniably say? But some person lie a lot more than others, a lot more..
even to themselves , others and to the courts especially. it is not just
all the men now that are supposedly the bad guys. in reality men and women are
still equal sinners according to God still too and both lie, sin. One of the
major problem about lying is one next tends to believe in one's own lie
as being the truth when they still are not... Most of the
liars still are wrongfully not willing to take any personal
responsibility, accountability for their own faults, their own shortcomings
now next too and project wrongfully their faults, problems even on the
others
The real, root problem often is not
the alcohol, or the drugs themselves, alone but rather one honestly dealing
with themselves and their own real shortcomings still too.The basic
secret of all successful substance abuse termination programs are
accepting personal responsibility, personal accountability, the
individual first personally has to admit he or a she has done wrong,
also admits he or she now does needs help, admit that they is willing to
take the help.. all three aspects are required still too. An appropriate real
self examination on their own part is always needed firstly here
for it is also their own real bad personal acts, and related
guilt that next contributes, contributed to his or her own poor
self image, fears, additional problems.. especially more when
things did not go the way he or she had planned beforehand
.
Did you also know that even
professionals, teetotalers can develop an "alcoholic behavior temperament", as
evidenced by the Taylor Johnson temperament analysis test too, to that of a
person who has a poor self image, and who is a cheat, liar, manipulator,
con artist. Many persons lie this too have personally next had refused
to go to any counseling and why they would rather often rather to go to
any other persons and there wrongfully talk about the other
issues and not themselves. Now still what about the people who often do
cheat, lie and steal now, even any the lawyers, professionals, politicians
especially who do note whether they admit it to you or not, they do also
become more depressed than the average person now as well as a result of
their own abuses. They too personally do reap what they themselves have sowed
ehh? It is in fact very likely the cause they also do tend to next
have the same behavior temperament as an alcoholic, a substance abuser
in reality.
Furthermore "Depression more common
among substance abusers: report Thu, 09 Dec 2004 10:49:04
EST OTTAWA - Heavy drinkers or drug users are much more likely
than teetotalers to become depressed, just as people with the mental illness
more often develop addictions, a Statistics Canada study
suggests. The report, released Thursday, indicates that adult
Canadians who rely on illicit drugs are more than six times as likely
to suffer through a major depressive episode than those who never touch
them. More than a quarter – 26 per cent – of Canadians
who seemed dependent on drugs in 2002 struggled with depression, compared to
only four per cent of abstainers, the Alcohol and Illicit Drug Dependence
report suggests. About one in six heavy drinkers – those who had five or
more drinks on a single occasion at least once a month during a year – had a
depressive episode, compared to one in 20 among
non-drinkers. Tjepkema said the report confirms the results
of earlier studies that suggest a link between substance abuse and mental
illness and lends weight to them because it relies on a much larger sample of
the population. Written by CBC News Online

"Top U.S. drug-addiction research
warns against decriminalizing marijuana Dec. 7, 2004
Provided by: Canadian Press Studies show wider availability of a
drug coupled with a relaxed attitude towards it help predict the level of use
and addiction, said Dr. Nora Volkow. (CP handout) VANCOUVER (CP) - A top
American clinical researcher in the field of drug addiction warned Tuesday
that decriminalizing marijuana could lead to increased abuse of the
drug. Studies show wider availability of a drug coupled with a relaxed
attitude towards it help predict the level of use and addiction, said Dr. Nora
Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Volkow said surveys
indicate that if a drug is considered safe and benign, its use spirals. Drug
addiction rates can range from 20 to 30 per cent of users. "The
notion of legalizing and making drugs accessible, what it will do is
ultimately increase the number of people that get exposed to the drug," Volkow
said in an interview. "Some of those people will become addicted that
may have not become addicted had it not been so easily accessible." The
best examples, she said, are alcohol and tobacco, both widely available and
relatively acceptable socially and with the most widespread addiction
rates. The federal Liberal government is mulling the decriminalization
of possession of small amounts of pot. The Canadian proposal is drawing frowns
within the U.S. government - notably drug-policy czar John Walters -
accompanied by warnings about implications at the border. Volkow, here
to speak to people working in the drug-addiction field, said many scientists
used to believe marijuana was not addictive. But she said the pot
consumed by the Baby Boom generation had much less of the active ingredient
THC - which interacts with receptor proteins in the brain that translate
pleasure responses - than the types now available. "It is this chemical
that can lead to the addiction," she said. "When people were taking marijuana
in the past, they were consuming a very weak drug. "The experiences that
people may have had - that are now in their 40s and 50s - who say 'I never
became addicted to that drug,' that does not necessarily pertain to the type
of compound we're seeing today." Research since then has also revealed a
lot more about the effects of marijuana on those brain receptors and how they
help regulate things such as memory and learning, she said. Volkow was
appointed in 2003 to head the institute, an arm of the U.S. National
Institutes of Health. With a budget of more than $900 million US,
it is the world's largest supporter of clinical research on addiction and
funds about 85 per cent of studies worldwide. A research psychiatrist,
Volkow, 48, has published more than 200 papers and specializes in the study of
brain imaging to investigate what role dopamine, the brain chemical that
triggers sensations of pleasure and motivation, plays in addiction.
Volkow's skepticism about marijuana is based partly on her experience.
She made her reputation in the 1980s with a ground-breaking study that
discovered regular cocaine use caused tiny strokes. Coke was the drug of
choice in the go-go '80s, popularly thought to be safe for recreational
use. "I had serious trouble getting that study published," she said.
"Nobody wanted to believe it." The organization Volkow now heads even
rejected her grant application. It took the cocaine deaths of two prominent
sports stars to alert people that maybe cocaine wasn't so safe, she
said. Those kinds of causal links don't yet exist with pot, she said.
But some studies have tied its use to a rise in psychotic episodes and
schizophrenia. The institute is funding research to look at the effects
of marijuana in the developing brain. Volkow told the meeting research
indicates adolescent brains are at higher risk of drug addiction because areas
of the frontal cortex that affect reasoning and judgment, as well as a deeper
region that involves pleasure responses, are not yet fully developed.
Environment also plays a role, she said, because studies show a connection
between stress levels and addiction. Poverty itself is not the cause, said
Volkow, but the stress of dealing with poverty is. Despite her concerns
about decriminalization, Volkow said drug addiction has to be treated as a
disease, not a moral weakness to be stigmatized. "It doesn't help anyone
and it certainly doesn't help the addicted person," she said.
With a lot of criminal activity linked to alcohol, drug
addiction, Volkow said the institute favours treatment intervention in
prisons. A Delaware study found a sharp drop in drug use and arrests
among people who went through the correctional system's program and received
followup care. Such programs could be pivotal because in the United
States, only about 15 per cent of addicts get any kind of treatment, she
said. " But the devil and his spin doctors
will try to deny all od these truths
too..
(Gen 3:4 KJV) And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye
shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat
thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good
and evil.6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it
was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took
of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her;
and he did eat.
but next they too were
still even faced with the reality... (Gen 3:7 KJV) And the eyes of them
both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig
leaves together, and made themselves aprons.8 And they heard the voice
of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his
wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the
garden. 9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art
thou?10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid,
because I was naked; and I hid myself.
Do face it the person who
takes bad drugs, alcohol does take it willingly and he or she should also
suffer real negative consequences for his poor personal choice here on earth
still too, especially when his or her choice harms anyone
else.
The Public exposure and
prosecutions of the guilty persons starting rightfully at the top, but goes
down to the bottom as well serves everyone's best interest and is
continually mandatory for everyone's best and good welfare.
(Luke 17:3 KJV) Take heed to
yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he
repent, forgive him. .... but their supposed repentance does not
automatically exclude their negative consequences still
(Prov 22:1 KJV) A good name is
rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver
and gold.
(Mat 7:4 KJV) Or how wilt thou
say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a
beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of
thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy
brother's eye.
