You know what else makes me angry?
Every time this subject comes up on FR, the anti-drug nazis come out of the closet.
As soon as *I* pipe up with my personal situation, they shut up. The argument goes away.
They NEVER admit they’re wrong and the same people pop up on the next WOD thread, but they back down on THIS thread.
In every aspect of right-wing thought, we allow failures. (Don’t save the person who’s made bad personal life-choices.) But not drug addicts.
For some reason, THOSE people should be protected by the power of BIG government. Even if it means that people dying in agony suffer.
But try to regulate BACON, soda sizes or smoking...
Inconsistent JERKS.
I am so sorry about your predicament, Marie. Living in constant pain has to be a hell on earth. It must zap any energy... both physical and mental from you. Don’t worry about the anti-drug freepers. Chances are they haven’t been in your shoes or seen someone die in agony. I’ve said this before (much to the dismay and shock of some), that I considered buying marijuana when my Mother was dying from pancreatic cancer. To see a once beautiful woman... unable to eat was heart breaking. I could literally check on her in the morning and by evening.. she as smaller, more frail and weak. A good eating day consisted of two gingersnap cookies and some water. Day in, day out. The only problem is that I didn’t have any idea in the world where to get it; however, I would have purchased it in a minute if it could have helped her.
Prayers for you and relief of your pain. You are a good person and I admire that you are able to educate us of your condition and post when you can. Hugs, Mom
“But try to regulate BACON, soda sizes or smoking...”
Brilliant, Marie.
Your story illustrates the lunacy of the WOD.
Unfortunately, the comments from the armchair drug warriors also illustrate a fatal flaw in 21st century conservatism, which appears to be quite willing to use big government to promote and enforce their own notions of morality. Why is the 10th Amendment so difficult to understand?
