Did the Drug War Make it Any Easier for Whitney Houston to Seek Help For Substance Abuse?
Pop
star Whitney Houston is dead at the age of 48. While the
official cause of death has not yet been announced, she had a long
history of drug problems and was in and out of rehab over the years
and it's likely that substance abuse played some role. As USA Today
reminds us
[In 2002]she did an interview with Diane Sawyer to promote her upcoming Just Whitney. She admitted using drugs in the highly watched TV interview, which included her infamous declaration, "Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack. Let's get that straight. OK? We don't do crack. We don't do that. Crack is wack."...
In a 2009 interview with Oprah Winfrey to promote I Look To You, Houston...confessed that she laced her marijuana with rock cocaine and revealed that she'd spent time in rehab and had undergone an intervention by her mother.
Here's a question for proponents of the drug war: Does prohibition - which demonstrably fails to keep illegal drugs out of the hands of people who want them - simply make it that much harder for people like Houston to admit and seek problems for their problems? Everyone knows that it's no easy thing for addicts or problem users of anything to admit they need help. Does criminalizing the behavior on top of everything else make it that much harder to for such people to seek the help they need?
Here's one of Houston's signature songs:

Crack house
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crack house is a term mainly used in the United States used to describe an old, often abandoned or burnt-out building often in an inner-city neighborhood where drug dealers and drug users buy, sell, produce, and use illegal drugs, including, but not limited to, crack cocaine.

They're already trying to make fatty foods and soda more taxed and there's people that want them to be illegal! There's people lobbying for that right now btw. Also every single argument in favor of drug prohibition also applies to alcohol, since it too is a drug, in fact it's the most used drug in human history -- so to be for drug prohibition but against alcohol prohibition is to be a true hypocrite. They serve alcohol at DEA parties.

|2.12.12 @ 8:25AM|#
Blaming the "war on drugs" for her death is not rational. It is possible that her death was from "legal" drugs prescribed by hollywood doctors with no ethics. Addiction is not a political topic. Drug war or not some people refuse to get help for things they bring on themselves, or arrogantly presume they can control it. The big problem is often the people in their life that enable their behavior. Help for Whitney would only come from getting rid of the other people in her life that saw her as a stepping stone. DEA officers did not block her from treatment. The media bent over backwards to help her and her attempts at treatment are open and well documented. Your argument is completely flawed.
db|2.12.12 @ 8:45AM|#
I think the question was "Does the drug war make it more difficult for addicts to admit their addictions and seek help?"
You haven't presented any evidence to the contrary. What you have done is assumed your model of why addicts don't seek help. You say "some people refuse to get help...or arrogantly presume they can control it." Well, the first part of that sentence is the important one. Why do they refuse to get help?
The question posed in the OP was aimed at exploring the idea that the drug war can affect people's desire to seek help. One could hypothesize that to be the case, thinking that exposing an addiction may be tantamount to admission of criminal behavior, and with the pervasiveness of our drug war today, perhaps even invite drug warriors to begin asking uncomfortable questions about one's personal associates and friends.
In the case of Ms. Houston, we know a little more about her because of her celebrity, so it was harder for her to hide her addiction.
If "the media bent over backwards to help her...", and she still succumbed to addiction (which is still pure speculation at this point) despite this help, and the drug war also failed at preventing her from acquiring the drugs, then a better question to ask is of supporters of the drug war: "What the fuck is it good for? It fails in so many ways at its core mission; where is the possible justification for continuing it?"
|2.12.12 @ 9:30AM|#
realizing this is all speculative (i don't KNOW she was an addict, or that drugs had anything to do with her death), ime (and i have hung out with a LOT of addicts. i worked undercover a long time) many addicts do not WANT to get better, so to speak
they ENJOY doing drugs and want to keep doing drugs
why is that hard to understand
i think there's an assumption , even amongst many libertarians, that all or most addicts are unhappy with the situation
SOME are. some just want to be able to do the drugs. they'd be happy as pie to just be able to while away their time doing the drugs they enjoy doing.
a fair %age of meth addicts i know WANT to quit, but a substantial %age do not. they enjoy the high, and just wanna keep on keepin' on
the question posedin the OP is a little silly, since it was addressed to drug war proponents, which i doubt even read this blog, let alone comment, but maybe we can find one.
this is all such speculation, but fwiw, another way the drug war helps CAUSE overdoses is that it is difficult for addicts/users to get PRECISE dosing.
iow, at least if you are addicted to a pharma drug, you can know exactly the dose you are taking, so unless you are a fucking moron, you stand little chance of OD'ing, since most addicts know very well what their tolerance is.
granted, some people are just fucking morons.
had some chick call 911 the other night because she felt ill and paranoid.
eventually, she admitted to taking
60 mg of oxycodone (IR... NOT oxycontin...iow, instant release)
a bunch of whisky
some flexeril
AND
pot.
jesus fucking christ.

at least if you are addicted to a pharma drug, you can know exactly the dose you are taking, so unless you are a fucking moron, you stand little chance of OD'ing, since most addicts know very well what their tolerance is.
Not so sure about this. A few times in my life, Ive managed to puke do to excessive alcohol. Its never been life-threatening (although, it could be argued that it was before I hurled, hence my body rejecting the booze). And while Im not an addict and Im well aware of my tolerance, it still happened.
Then again, I was much younger and maybe being a fucking moron. Then again again, the LAST (I mean that in both senses) time that happened was the night of my 40th birthday.
The point is, ODing can happen, even with a well regulated drug.
|2.12.12 @ 9:46AM|#
Addicts usually die after they try to clean up and then relapse. While they clean up their tolerance goes back down to normal. Then they go back to using and use the same doses they were using when they were full on addicts. Since their tolerance is gone that kills them. Once someone quits, if they ever go back, they have to use the stuff like they have never touched it before in their lives. For some reason addicts sometimes forget that and it usually costs them their lives.
|2.12.12 @ 10:06AM|#
exactly. i have responded to a lot of OD's
note i have NEVER responded to a oxycontin OD
but TONS of heroin OD's
guess which one is not a pharma drug and thus hard to regulate dosage?
(yes, i know heroin is IV'd and oxy isn't but the point is still valid imo)
if you know the dose, you are much LESS likely to overdose.
alcohol is also a weird drug due to other issue affecting absorption, like stomach contents, that won't affect drugs that are insufflated, injcted, etc
your comment about recovering addicts, btw is spot on
they can underestimate their loss of tolerance with disastrous results.
VERY common
|2.12.12 @ 10:13AM|#
I would think the fact that Oxy is not IV'd would make it harder to overdose since you might throw the pills back up before they get into your system. I know from the few times I have had prescription pain pills, taking more than one or two of them make me throw the things back up.
Mr Whipple|2.12.12 @ 11:05AM|#
I would think the fact that Oxy is not IV'd would make it harder to overdose
Oxy can, and is, injected. In fact, a big "problem" for addicts is that the generic has gelatine additives that are not water soluble and clog the syringe. There is, however, a way to deal with that, from what I understand.
|2.12.12 @ 5:40PM|#
oxy is 60-87% orally bioavailable and is rarely injected because due to that, and it's method of action, it does not offer the instant body rush that addicts can get from injecting drugs such as heroin, morphine, or dilaudid
Mr Whipple|2.12.12 @ 11:13AM|#
if you know the dose, you are much LESS likely to overdose.
The first thing any good heroin addict does when he hears about "killer dope" on the street, is he goes and tries to find it. There was a big problem in Philly when someone was selling Fentanyl as dope, which doesn't cure "dope sickness". Many of the addicts thought it was just really potent dope. It's funny, though. The police were very quick to locate the source and get it off the street.
|2.12.12 @ 12:23PM|#
"(yes, i know heroin is IV'd and oxy isn't but the point is still valid imo)"
I know a guy who's been doing heroin for years by insufflation, never IV AFAIK. I'd classify him as a functioning addict. Is this that unusual?
Mr Whipple|2.12.12 @ 12:52PM|#

BakedPenguin|2.12.12 @ 4:17PM|#
Not really. In Saying Yes, Sullum wrote about quite a few people who fell into the "functional addict" category. Also, according to the govt's own stats, only 10-20% of people who try heroin ever become addicts.
|2.12.12 @ 5:43PM|#
not unusual. insufflation in the PAC nw must be done in a nasal SOLUTION, since we have tar, not powder
that being said, heroin is extremely orally biounavailable
so, unlike oxy, it is almost never swallowed, because that's a tremendous waste
oxy is 60-87% orally bioavailable and can be potentiated to even higher #'s via cytochrome p450 inhibitors (like grapefruit juice), and various other methods.
insufflation is quite common with heroin
heroin can be effectively taken : insufflation, rectally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, intravenously
many users never want to make the "leap" to the needle, so avoid the needle routes
|2.12.12 @ 6:03PM|#
oh. and btw, opioids and "functioning addict" are very common. opioids are not detrimental to health (and even have some benefits) like meth, etc. when used longterm, in any signficant way, and it is clearly very possible to use opioids over a long period of time, and function very well in society.
many longterm chronic pain patients take opioid doses that would kill you or me quite possibly and manage to function just fine.
i investigated a collision with a guy who was on 80 mg of oxycodone a day and you would never know he was anything but stone cold sober.

Obviously Houston had no qualms about admitting she used drugs and she had the means to get any treatment she needed/wanted.

But there's still one or two Nonconformists out there, and they have to be forced into ideological compliance.

(referring to choosing between religious liberty and access to contraceptives)

of course, Houston was not most people. Come on. The celebrity world is full of people who were hooked on something but cleaned up, and just as full of folks hooked on something who are now dead. Robert Downey Jr represents the former and John Belushi the latter.
These people are treated differently BECAUSE of their celebrity status. If it was Lindsay Jones the (fill in regular job) rather than Linsday Lohan the celeb, jail time would have already occurred and no media outlet would have cared.
It's a shame she died but you cannot stop a train wreck from the outside.

Addiction is very political.
It has different definitions both common and supposedly scientific, and those definitions change. Some believe "all drug use is drug abuse" which leads them to believe all drug users are addicts too.
It has been my experience, that most users are not addicts. Most users will not become addicts. Becoming an addict, and staying one is hard work. Not all addicts are irrational, or helpless. Not all want to stop either.
And some people are just hopeless wrecks, drugs or not. I would bet this is the case with Whitney.
Nique|2.12.12 @ 12:54PM|#
The media bent over backwards to help her? They bent over backwards to embarass her and tear her down into a scum of the earth drug addict to get their story and their ratings. People love it when celebs fail at anything, for whatever reason it makes people who have sad unfulfilled lives happy.
Criminalizing drugs makes it harder for people to get treatment because they have to admit to being criminals instead of just admitting they have a problem with addiction.

Addiction is most definitely a political topic when being addicted to most substances can put you in prison for years.

Even using on the very odd occasion can put you in prison for years, much less abuse.
Drugs have been co-opted in to a moral issue, and users along with them. When you're seen as morally inferior of course it makes it more difficult deal with a legitimate problem.

the idea that a CELEBRITY addict like whitney houston would be impeded by the drug war in seeking help (assuming she wanted it... some addicts WANT to be addicts, others want help, and we don't evne know what she died of), and getting it ... is an easy question: NO
there are a metric assload of celebrities who have sought rehab, sometimes after a precipitating negative incident, or sometimes because they just plain want to.
some are essentially forced to (robert downey) but a lot do it because they know they are going to die sooner or later.
heck, some DO die, but they get better (nikky sixx)
it's almost a badge of honor to go to rehab, for a celebrity. it didn't hurt downey's career. it helped him. a million other examples
assuming one has the money, which these celebrities have, there are great programs
the only impediment to gettign rehab for a person like houston was... not wanting to do it.
the drug war is fucking bad policy, but it wasn't preventing houston from getting help. the idea is just patently absurd.
again, i have NO idea if her addiction, assuming she had one, had anything to do with her death.
i'm not sure why you are asking this question here, addressed to "proponents of the drug war". is there ANYBODY who posts here who is a PROPONENT of the drug war?

Crack house is a term mainly used in the United States used to describe an old, often abandoned or burnt-out building often in an inner-city neighborhood where drug dealers and drug users buy, sell, produce, and use illegal drugs, including, but not limited to, crack cocaine.[

wareagle|2.12.12 @ 12:26PM|#
what the hell are you talking about? The presence of a drug war had nothing to do with Houston. She had the means to buy anything, legal or otherwise. She also had the means to fix a problem, IF she thought a problem existed. No drug influences someone to seek rehab but the cumulative effects of those drugs often do.
|2.12.12 @ 2:13PM|#
You miss the point. The MEANS to do so is not the same as the WILLINGNESS to do so. If drugs weren't illegal, and thus weren't (as) taboo, would she have seeked help sooner/more often? Could it have even made her less likely to even TELL people about her use? Perhaps, perhaps not.
wareagle|2.12.12 @ 2:56PM|#
I don't think the legality would have made a difference. Alcohol is legal as can be, yet lots of folks have trouble with it. Same with prescription drugs.
Anyway, the celeb universe is full of people who get a pass for behavior that would land you and me in jail. How many stories of actors/singers have you seen where they cleaned up. If anything, folks riding the Whitney gravy train would have added incentive to say something since not doing so meant their meal ticket would expire.
The legal/not legal approach seems to believe the only alternatives are addiction or prohibition. Legalize it all and let adults make adult choices. I doubt rates of misuse would change much..though I could be wrong.
Jeffersonian|2.12.12 @ 3:42PM|#
Your zeal to criticize dunphy has clouded your reason.
Houston sought treatment a number of times, and the drug war was a constant the entire time. She had precisely zero fear of being arrested or jailed for her drug use. If she shunned rehab, it was because she either enjoyed the drugs and didn't want to clean up or because she didn't think she had a problem.
please shut the fuck up|2.12.12 @ 3:43PM|#
"She had precisely zero fear of being arrested or jailed for her drug use"
Since you have no way to know this, and since she was arrested multiple times, I'm going to point out that you're a moron.
wareagle|2.12.12 @ 3:56PM|#
and the result of her arrest was what? Please. Houston and other celebs live on a different planet than the rest of us. What gets us tossed in jail gets them free publicity; if they do rehab and emerge sober, they do a victory tour with more publicity.
Since she was arrested more than once, it would appear that her fear of the legal system was trumped by her need to get high. If you disagree with the options jeffersonian puts forth, what is your hypothesis?
|2.12.12 @ 5:51PM|#
and again, even for noncelebrities, mere possession usually requires a few arrests, if no priors, before any real jail time is gotten... again, USUALLY.
in my county, prosecutors won't even FILE felony for cocaine, meth, oxy, etc. for mere possession unless the defendant has a decent criminal background. that's our filing standards.
also, generally speaking (some exceptions), USING drugs isn't illegal. possessing them is. that may sound like a technicality, but generally speaking, you have to be caught with the drugs in your hands, etc. (not your body) for it to be a crime (note that california has a law agains thaving heroin in your SYSTEM, but that's a rare exception).
i've worked as a cop in WA, HI , and MA and in all 3 getting caught for personal possession of a "hard drug" (cocaine, heroin, etc.) will get you probation unless you are already on parole or something.
that being said , being a rich celebrity will USUALLY net you more lenient treatment.
imo, race has very little to do with disparate treatment. CLASS has a lot to do with it.

I am sorry. But I have a hard time believing that a celebrity died because they didn't have access to rehab. Someone like Houston is a money maker for thousands of people. You don't think her record company, manager, or any of the other countless people who stood to make money off of her keeping her act together and making music and touring wouldn't have gladly helped her go to rehab?
Houston, like everyone else who uses drugs, used them because she liked them and she chose to. Fuck rehab and fuck her being a victim of anything but her own choices.
robc|2.12.12 @ 9:45AM|#
Houston's problem is she made too much money. She never hit rock bottom. I think most addicts have to have consequences to their actions before they get help. Her crack comments highlight the problem.
|2.12.12 @ 9:48AM|#
That is probably true, although some rich addicts have managed to stop. You just have to make the choice to do it. Most people are very adept at lying to themselves. No matter how bad things get, they always think they will get another chance. It is only when there are no other chances that they finally quit, if they are ever going to.

Does criminalizing the behavior...make it that much harder to for such people to seek the help they need?
I like how Nick blames "government" for what were entirely Ms. Houston's own life choices. Granted, he doesn't actually go as far as to blame Houston's demise on the war on drugs...he asks us to do it for him. It's a stretch, and a rather slimy one at that. If "government" stigmatized anything, it was drug use, not treatment.
|2.12.12 @ 10:10AM|#
Of course going to treatment means admitting drug use. And yes, Houston was a celebrity who didn't live the by the rules the rest of us do. But I think for an average person, drugs being illegal makes it hard to get treatment, since getting treatment requires one to admit to being a criminal.

Dunphy summed it up pretty well. The WOD is really bad policy, but it didnt have anything to do with Houston's death.
I remember when Reagan ran a poll asking people if they would be willing to give up some of their civil liberties in order to combat drugs and it came back overwhelmingly in favor of the war on drugs. I was astounded at how stupid people were....but then I was younger and more naive about the average person's intelligence and unaware of how biased most polls are.

Crack house
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crack house is a term mainly used in the United States used to describe an old, often abandoned or burnt-out building often in an inner-city neighborhood where drug dealers and drug users buy, sell, produce, and use illegal drugs, including, but not limited to, crack cocaine.

There is no way an unbiased person could read that text and think she's AGAINST religious liberty or its inclusion in the Bill of Rights.
|2.12.12 @ 10:58AM|#
Really?
Maybe the Founders were wrong to guarantee free exercise of religion in the First Amendment, but that is what they did and I don't think we have to choose here. The key is that I think there are ways we can go about this where, without infringing on any concern about a woman's health, we can still guarantee religious liberty without which, I mean, there is no way this is going to stand in the court but it's also a huge political liability.
She only talks about her women's health pony and getting this thing to stand in court. She never once makes the case that religious liberty is a good thing, only that it is in the Constitution and we can't get this through the courts because of it.
It is hardly an endorsement of free exercise.

I am not sure. Why is it so hard for her to say "people should have the right to free exercise" instead of "the constitution requires it"? It is a small but in important difference. You can believe the latter and still think free exercise is a bad thing. That seems to be her position.
|2.12.12 @ 11:04AM|#
She wasn't making a Teleprompter speech, John. She was just talking. Sometimes words come together in a way that, taken out of context, can mean the exact opposite of what you were trying to say.
I'm still floored that you're devoting this much criticism to Henneberg's poor choice of words but barely any criticism to Steyn's deliberate decision to take her words out of context. Steyn is the asshole here, without question.
|2.12.12 @ 11:06AM|#
I am floored that you think it is okay for the government to mandate the practices of religious institutions.
And sorry, I am not giving her the benefit of the doubt. If she wants that, she can walk back and say "regardless of the constitution, people should be free to practice religion as they choose". If she can't do that, then clearly she means what Steyn implies that she meant.
|2.12.12 @ 11:10AM|#
I'm totally not floored that you jumped to the conclusion that I support the govt because I'm against misrepresenting what someone said to advance anti-govt talking points.

|2.12.12 @ 11:12AM|#
I think he wasn't fair to her. Her point wasn't as obvious as she made it out to be. That said, from the full context it is not clear at all she thinks religious liberty is more important than the holy grail of free contraception and abortion. She is just honest enough to admit such is in the Constitution.
That makes her better than most. But hardly perfect.

|2.12.12 @ 1:54PM|#
Maxxx, I really don't care what a sentence fragment taken out of context sounds like. (and note that Shit Steyn cut off even the "but it did" part to make it seem even more sinister) It's clear from her entire argument that she's in favor of religious liberty.
Nearly any utterance of speech contains sentence fragments that, when taken out of context, would appear to argue the exact opposite of what the speaker was arguing. This is even more likely given that she was speaking off the cuff, not from a prepared speech.

Strange that Mark Steyn wasn't as concerned about Catholics being forced to finance the incineration of innocent civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, which is also against their religious beliefs. IIRC population warfare is even more of a no-no in Catholic teaching than condoms are.
|2.12.12 @ 11:05AM|#
By that logic Catholics should be required to pay taxes. Even they are not claiming that. But paying taxes to a government that does something is a bit different than that government telling you that you have to pay for and do something that violates your religion.
Jesus Tulpa, that is MNG level dishonesty. Are you really on the government's side on this? Do you really think it is okay for the government to tell churches that they have to pay for things that violate their religions? If so, shut up and stop claiming to give a shit about liberty.
|2.12.12 @ 11:08AM|#
Right, any criticism of Mark Steyn equals support of the government.
|2.12.12 @ 11:11AM|#
Then what was your point then? If you want to talk about other sujects, then talk about them. But Styen's opinion on the war has nothing to do with the validity of his point here. Why did you make it if not to defend the mandate?
|2.12.12 @ 11:18AM|#
He's "right" about the current controversy, but only because the right position happens to align with what's convenient for TEAM RED politically. Steyn is a misrepresenter of quotes and a raging hypocrite.
|2.12.12 @ 11:21AM|#
But your position on civilians in Iraq is ludicrous. There is a huge difference between paying taxes and having the government mandate you do something. By your logic, the 1st Amendment means pacifists have a right to opt out of paying federal taxes.

The rehab industry is a giant cargo cult.
Amen.
What a farce that racket is! I was for a short time involved, as staff, in a big hospital-based drug rehab facility. It was to a great extent a fantastical social event attended by pathetic dependent personalities most of whom were attending because of extraneous motivators (family, court, etc.) and having nothing whatsoever to do with any personal desire to clean up. Witnessing the group therapy circle jerks and watching these jokers parroting the obligatory catch-phrases and stock lines that they knew were expected of them to demonstrate "progress" was almost unbearable - as was the self-congratulation for their "courage" at the end of the program.
And then, back they came in a year or so. For many it was like old home week as they encountered druggies and boozers they had met other times and other programs. One of the first questions on the intake history form was: "How many times have you been in rehab?" It's like people who tell me, "This is the third time I've quit smoking." I always say to them, "I'm not sure you know the meaning of 'quit'."

That tells me that the guy who steals his mother's wedding ring to buy drugs is not an addict, he is just a thief. And if drugs magically disappeared tomorrow, he would still be a thief.
It is the same with the people at your hospital. If drugs and booze magically disappeared tomorrow, those people would be no better off. They would still be degenerates, they would just be using another excuse.

Alcohol also kills rich and talented people like Whitney Houston, so why don't you join the fight to return to alcohol prohibition?
Do your children have a chance to not become alcoholics even though it's legal?
Quit trying to use the police power of government to protect your children, the government is not daddy. Instead, YOU be the parent, YOU educate your children about the dangers of alcohol or drugs or unprotected sex or a million other things. It is NOT societies job to teach and protect your children, it is yours.

Crack house
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crack house is a term mainly used in the United States used to describe an old, often abandoned or burnt-out building often in an inner-city neighborhood where drug dealers and drug users buy, sell, produce, and use illegal drugs, including, but not limited to, crack cocaine.

As I read on Reason sometime before, parts of Europe are allowing their heroin addicts to legally get their fix from certain doctors, removing the fear of arrest or other harassment from the government. From what I read, after years of this program, they are finding that the addicts are seeking treatment in greater numbers and the argument is that the relationship of trust that develops between the addict and the doctor they are seeing leads to an open communication that makes the addict more comfortable opening up and seeking the treatment they need.
So, yes, places where trial legalization is tried, there does seem to be an increase in addicts seeking treatment. Europe is not the only example.
That said, of course there are a percentage of addicts who will always refuse to quit, that is the nature of addiction.
Also, keep in mind that many people who use are not addicts, just as many people who drink are not alcoholics. Some people just enjoy a buzz - a couple of drinks, or a couple of totes from a j.
Rather|2.12.12 @ 10:55AM|#
I don't think the drug war had agency her addiction/treatment; the speculation that she was clean for her movie but post-filming returned to her usual dose is possible but her handlers likely provided script drugs VS. street. Quantity, and not quality as the concern, I suspect an underlying condition
Dumphy addicts don't want to get well because they are addicted! Are you a television cop?
When I think of Whitney's bittersweet story of fame, her first visit to the White House comes to mind: she was there to sing, and someone asked her to get them a drink; they thought she was wait-staff. The episode comminute her confidence, and showbiz people are diffident; I wish she had the wherewithal to get the guest a drink and wink at her from the stage.

People, whether Whitney or a slum crack addict, never have and never will change because there is a law.
People did NOT quit drinking because of a law against drinking, people do NOT quit smoking pot because of law, and people would NOT quit eating fried chicken if there was a law.
Trying to make people be what you want with laws is social engineering and it has NEVER worked and never will. People are who they are and neither you nor a million laws you might support will ever change that.
What you will do with social engineering is cause a million seen and un-forseen consequences, like black markets and gang retaliations.

He is special sloopy. If he is indicted for this, he will get to turn himself in at an appointed time and be booked by an apologetic sobbing fellow officer.

|2.12.12 @ 6:13PM|#
there is no crime against shooting somebody at point blank range.
what specifically are you whining about? i know i know. you are so convinced (and god knows) no evidence will convince you othjerwise, that cops have some special license to kill
i already cited a case in oregon where a neighbor shot a burglar who had broken into the neighbors house with NO evidence of violence or even being armed, and shot the guy as he ran away outside the neighbors' house and was not charged
that's because , as a noncop, he was held to a LESSER standard for deadly force in arrest situations
cops are held to tenn v. garner.
it must be fun to live in your delusional world.
just like you cannot come up with ONE example in Wa state of anybody gettinga 23 yr sentence, with no felony priors for an assault indictment/conviction (but a cop did), i challenge you to come up with a case where a cop shot a fleeing burglar after he fled a residence not the shooter's own, in the back, with no evidence the burglar was armed or had made threats of vviolence (or even claims of such by the shooter) and the cop was not prosecuted
show me ONE
|2.12.12 @ 11:46AM|#
He should go to jail for the rest of his life. But sadly, I bet he gets off with manslaughter and does a year or two at most. And that is being optimistic. I wouldn't be shocked if he walks away a free man.
I love how they won't release his name. Any other person shoots someone and their name and picture all over the news. But the cop gets his privacy while he takes a paid vacation. Just infuriating.

|2.12.12 @ 12:13PM|#
Yeah, even by his account he had her door handle in one hand, which means for his arm to be caught in the window and for him to have his gun, he'd have to have three fucking arms.
It was an eyewitnessed murder, but there have been no charges, the alleged murderer has not been taken into custody. Names have not been released.

That's pretty thin justification for shooting someone in the head at point-blank range. Especially when he had her tag # and a good description of her.
|2.12.12 @ 6:17PM|#
i love sloopy's histrionics. HEAD, point blank range, like these are somehow indiciations of illegality or impropriety.
note: my agency has no prohibiytion against reaching into a car, running or otherwise. some may. i've never worked for an agency that does. many would consider it unduly risky. i would say it's dependant on totality.
|2.12.12 @ 7:48PM|#
He shot her in the head at point-blank range. That's a fact, shit head, not histrionics. And what crime was she fleeing from that justified shooting her in the head? What could have possibly justified this murder, you fucking piece of human filth?
"Totality?" As far as we can see, the cop's version of the story cannot be validated and has been contradicted by eyewitness testimony. As far as I'm concerned, he cannot be trusted to tell the truth, seeing as it's impossible to have a gun in one hand, a door handle in another hand and a third hand inside the car pinned by a window.
Cop's a liar and a murderer as well.

I am EXTREMELY Libertarian and a strong belief in personal responsibility does NOT negate the compassion I have for the situations of my fellow man and my personal need to try to help - through giving or talk, not laws.
And, I firmly believe that the existing laws cause far, far more harm then the few people they do help. Maybe there is one person that quits destroying their life with a drug because of the drug war, but when rationally looking at a problem, we can't look at the one victory, we have to look at the overall effect, and the overall effect, as with alcohol prohibition, is an increase in overdoses and addiction problems.

Baltimore cops say you can record them but doing so counts as loitering and still gets you arrested. Fucking pigs.

Whitney died from the evils of drugs. Wrote a song about it. Like to hear it? Here it goes.

Until I hear otherwise, I'm assuming that Houston died from some acute episode caused by underlying physical damage caused by her years of drug use, such as to her cardiovascular system. I don't see any reason to assume she died of an overdose. She was supposed to perform at a pre-Grammy party last night and I haven't heard any recent stories about her being off-the-hook on drugs.

Fresno Teen exonerated when video evidence clearly contradicts officers' bullshit "facts and circs".
FTA: Fresno Police initially said they couldn't discuss the case because of the pending litigation, but late Friday, Chief Jerry Dyer issued this statement:
"The mere fact that criminal charges have been dismissed in this case does not mean wrongdoing occurred on the part of the officers. Criminal charges are frequently dismissed within the criminal justice system for a variety of reasons. The officers clearly had justification to arrest the juvenile based upon their account of the incident which has been supported by independent witnesses. Should a lawsuit be filed we are prepared to defend the actions of the officers involved."
So if "their account of the incident" said she was a terrorist and they just shot her, would that be OK too? You know, because "their account" can never be challenged , incorrect or corrupt.

I'm pretty sure cops get a special boost, so to speak, when they dominate and manhandle beautiful young women.

In shreveport there is a restaurant just like that across the street from a high school. Before school and after there are zillions of kids hanging out in there. I am guessing this is a similar situation.
What is missing from that story is why she attracted the attention of the cops in the first place. After seeing the video I would suspect her looks drew their attention, but that is pure speculation. It is suspicious that the cops version omits that unimportant little detail.
|2.12.12 @ 1:00PM|#
also omitted is the testimony from the cashier as to whether or not she did actually have an order placed.
We dont know why they approached her, or even why they were there in the first place. It seems if the restaurant had called them that might have been included in the story.

....and what the hell was he doing carrying her like that? If he arrested her in the restaurant, why didnt he have her in handcuffs?

Pop ster Whitney Houston is dood op die ouderdom van 48. Terwyl die amptelike oorsaak van die dood is nog nie aangekondig nie, het sy 'n lang geskiedenis van dwelms probleme en was in en uit van rehab oor die jare en dit is waarskynlik dat dwelmmisbruik 'n rol gespeel het. Soos die VSA Vandag herinner ons
[In 2002 het sy 'n onderhoud met Diane Sawyer haar komende Net Whitney te bevorder. Sy het erken dat die gebruik van dwelms in die hoogs TV gekyk onderhoud, wat haar berugte verklaring, "Crack is goedkoop Ek maak te veel geld om ooit crack rook. Kom ons kry wat reguit. OK Ons? Nie doen nie kraak. Ons doen nie doen nie. Crack is klap. "...
In 'n 2009 onderhoud met Oprah Winfrey te bevorder ek kyk na jou, Houston ... gebieg het dat sy gedraai haar dagga met rock kokaïen en die lig gebring dat sy tyd deurgebring het in die rehab en ondergaan het 'n ingryping deur haar moeder.
Hier is 'n vraag vir die voorstanders van die dwelm-oorlog: Is 'n verbod - wat aantoonbaar versuim om onwettige dwelms te hou uit die hande van die mense wat hulle wil hê - net maak dit baie moeiliker vir mense soos Houston probleme vir hul probleme te erken en te soek? Almal weet dat dit nie 'n maklike ding vir verslaafdes of probleem gebruikers van iets om te erken dat hulle hulp nodig het. Is criminaliseren die gedrag op die top van alles anders maak dat dit baie moeiliker om vir sulke mense die hulp wat hulle nodig het om te soek?
Hier is een van Houston se handtekening liedjies:

Pop star Whitney Houston ka vdekur në moshën 48. Ndërsa shkaku zyrtar i vdekjes ende nuk është shpallur, ajo kishte një histori të gjatë të problemeve të drogës dhe ishte brenda dhe jashtë rehabilitimin gjatë viteve dhe kjo është e mundshme që abuzimin e substancave luajtur një rol. Si SHBA Sot na kujton
[Në 2002] ajo e bëri një intervistë me Diane Sawyer për të nxitur e ardhshme e saj Vetëm Whitney. Ajo ka pranuar përdorimin e drogës në një intervistë televizive pashë shumë, e cila përfshiu deklaratën e saj famëkeq, "Crack është i lirë. Kam bërë shumë para për të pirë duhan ndonjëherë plas. Le të merrni se drejt. OK? Ne nuk e bëjmë plas. Ne nuk bëjë këtë. Crack është Wack. "...
Në një intervistë të vitit 2009 me Oprah Winfrey për të promovuar I Look To You, Houston ... rrëfeu se ajo laced marihuanë saj me kokainë rock dhe zbuloi se ajo do të shpenzuar kohë në rehabilitimin dhe kishte pësuar një ndërhyrje nga nëna e saj.
Ja një pyetje për mbështetësit e luftës të drogës: A ndalim - i cili dukshëm dështon për të mbajtur të drogave të paligjshme nga duart e njerëzve që duan ata - thjesht të bëjë atë që shumë e vështirë për njerëz si Hjuston të pranojnë dhe të kërkojnë probleme për problemet e tyre? Gjithkush e di se ajo nuk është gjë e lehtë për të varur apo përdoruesit problematike dhe të ndonjë gjë të pranojnë se kanë nevojë për ndihmë. A kriminalizimin e sjelljes në krye të çdo gjë tjetër të bëjë atë që shumë më të vështirë për të për njerëz të tillë që të kërkojë ndihmë që u nevojitet?

When you criminalize things that aren't real crimes you still create real criminals. This is the biggest problem with the drug war; drug users have been and continue to be stigmatized as the "scum of the earth" thanks to that fuckhead nixon and every other POWER JUNKIE who has come after him.
So a "scum of the earth" criminal who society says should be locked up is supposed to realize they are fucked up and need help, and then truly admit to themselves and someone else that they really are a scum of the earth criminal and go to a treatment center.
Yeah, that's how drug and alcohol treatment works today. I wonder why success rates are at 5%?
The problem is no one really cares about drug and alcohol treatment, unless they or someone they know is a junkie or a drunk.
Since only (roughly) 7% of the population worldwide abuses drugs and alcohol, the number of people who really care about the issue is not enough to change the current system.
I say make all drugs legal and regulated, taxed, and sold at pharmacies. Make 21 the age limit and make the person who wants to use have to talk to a pharmacist for 30 minutes and sign a consent form.
Then take all the money wasted on law enforcement and put it into treatment. I'm not talking about the bullshit treatment we have today (12-step nonsense, etc), I'm talking about putting it into scientific research to establish a better way of treating addicts, and then force any treatment facility that is tax funded to adhere to federal guidelines made by examining the real data by the studies.
Since Obamacare is unlikely to be repealed, make treatment available to anyone that wants it. No more waiting 3-5 months for a bed \ room \ spot in a treatment program.
Follow these steps and the drug "problem" has been solved. Thing is, there's too many other problems right now for anyone to really care about this, so it will not happen any time soon...I'd give this idea at least 100-200 years before being implimented.

L'estrella del pop Whitney Houston ha mort a l'edat de 48. Encara que la causa oficial de mort encara no s'ha anunciat, que tenia una llarga història de problemes de drogues i va estar entrant i sortint de rehabilitació durant els anys i és probable que l'abús de substàncies exercit algun paper. Com EUA Avui en dia ens recorda
[El 2002] va fer una entrevista amb Diane Sawyer per promocionar la seva pròxima Just Whitney. Ella va admetre l'ús de drogues en l'entrevista televisiva de gran audiència, els quals inclouen la seva declaració infame, "El crac és barat. Que guanyen massa diners per a fumar s'esberli. Anem a aconseguir que la recta. D'acord? No s'esquerden. No fer això. El crac és Wack. "...

Heus aquí una pregunta per als defensors de la guerra contra les drogues: La prohibició - que es pugui demostrar no per mantenir les drogues il · legals fora de les mans de persones que ho desitgin - simplement ho fan molt més difícil per a les persones com Houston per admetre i tractar els problemes dels seus problemes? Tothom sap que no és cosa fàcil per als addictes o consumidors problemàtics de qualsevol cosa que admetre que necessiten ajuda. Es tipifica com a delicte la conducta en la part superior de tota la resta que sigui molt més difícil per aquestes persones a buscar l'ajuda que necessiten?

Pop zvijezda Whitney Houston je umro u dobi od 48. Iako je službeni uzrok smrti još nije objavila, ona je imala dugu povijest problema s drogom i bila je i iz rehab tijekom godina i to je vjerojatno da će substance abuse igra neku ulogu. Kao USA Today podsjeća nas
[2002] ona je intervju s Diane Sawyer za promicanje njezin nadolazeći Just Whitney. Ona je priznala korištenje droga u vrlo gledao TV intervjuu, koji je uključivao svoju neslavnu izjavu: "Crack je jeftin. Sam napraviti previše novca za sve pušiti crack. Idemo da ravno. OK? Mi to ne učinite crack. Ne učiniti. Crack je Wack. "...
U 2009 razgovoru s Oprah Winfrey za promicanje Gledam To You, ... Houston je priznao da je laced joj marihuanu s rock kokaina, a otkrila je da ona bi proveo neko vrijeme na rehabilitaciji i prošla kroz intervenciju od svoje majke.
Evo pitanje za zagovornika rata droge: Da li zabranu - koji očigledno ne vodi ilegalne droge iz ruku ljudi koji ih žele - jednostavno bi se da je puno teže za ljude poput Houston priznati i tražiti probleme svojih problema? Svatko zna da to nije jednostavna stvar za ovisnike ili problema korisnika bilo priznati da je potrebna pomoć.

Popstjerne Whitney Houston er død i en alder af 48. Mens den officielle dødsårsag endnu ikke er blevet annonceret, at hun havde en lang historie af narkotikaproblemer og var ind og ud af rehab i årenes løb, og det er sandsynligt, at stofmisbrug spillet en vis rolle. Da USA Today minder os
[I 2002] gjorde hun et interview med Diane Sawyer på at fremme hendes kommende Just Whitney. Hun indrømmede bruger stoffer i stor set tv-interview, som omfattede hendes berygtede erklæring, "Crack er billigt. Jeg laver for mange penge til stadig ryge crack. Lad os få det lige. OK? Vi gør ikke crack. Vi gør ikke gøre det. Crack er Wack. "...
I et 2009 interview med Oprah Winfrey til at fremme I Look To You, Houston ... tilstod, at hun blandet sin hash med rock kokain og afslørede, at hun havde brugt tid på afvænningsklinikken og havde gennemgået en intervention af sin mor.
Her er et spørgsmål til fortalerne for narkokrigen: Er forbud - som bevisligt ikke til at holde illegale stoffer ud af hænderne på mennesker, der ønsker dem - bare gøre det så meget sværere for folk som Houston til at indrømme og søge problemer for deres problemer? Alle ved, at det er nogen nem ting for narkomaner eller problematiske brugere af noget for at indrømme, at de har brug for hjælp.

Pop star Whitney Houston is dead at the age of 48. While the official cause of death has not yet Announced leg, she had a long history of drug problems and was in and out of rehab over the years and it's likely That substance abuse played some role. Axis USA Today reminds us
[In 2002] she did an interview with Diane Sawyer to Promote her upcoming Just Whitney. She Admitted Using drugs in the highly watched TV interview, All which included her infamous declaration, "Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack. Let's get that straight. OK?

In a 2009 interview with Oprah Winfrey to Promote I Look To You, Houston ... That She confessed her marijuana laced with cocaine and rock revealed That she'd spent time in rehab and had under gone an intervention by her mother.
Here's a question for proponents of the drug war: Does prohibitionism - which demonstrably fails to keep illegal drugs out of the hands of people who for them - That simply make it much harder for people like Houston to admit problems and seek for Their problems? Everyone knows That it's no easy thing for addicts or problem users or anything to admit They need help.

Popstaar Whitney Houston on surnud vanuses 48. Kuigi ametlikku surma põhjus ei ole veel välja kuulutatud, ta oli pikk ajalugu narkoprobleemid ja oli ja sealt võõrutusravi aastate jooksul ja on tõenäoline, et aine kuritarvitamise mängis teatud rolli. Nagu USA Today tuletab meile meelde,
[In 2002] ta tegi intervjuu Diane Sawyer edendada oma tulemas Lihtsalt Whitney. Ta tunnistas, tarbivad uimasteid väga vaatasin TV intervjuu, mis sisaldas tema kurikuulus deklaratsioon "Crack on odav. Ma teen liiga palju raha, et kunagi suitsetada crack. Lähme et sirge. OK? Me ei tee crack. Me ei teha. Crack on wack ". ...

Siin on küsimus pooldajad narkootikumide sõda: Kas keeld -, mis ilmselt ei suuda hoida ebaseaduslike uimastite käest inimesi, kes tahavad neid - lihtsalt see, et palju raskem inimesed nagu Houston tunnistada ja otsida probleeme nende probleeme? Igaüks teab, et see pole lihtne asi sõltlased või probleem kasutajate midagi tunnistama, et nad vajavad abi.

Pop bituin Whitney Houston ay namatay sa edad na 48. Habang ang mga opisyal na dahilan ng kamatayan ay hindi pa inihayag, siya ay may isang mahabang kasaysayan ng mga problema sa droga at sa at sa labas ng rehab sa mga nakaraang taon at ito ay malamang na ang pang-aabuso ng sangkap nilalaro ilang papel.

Narito ang isang tanong para sa mga proponents ng bawal na gamot ang digmaan: ba pagbabawal - na demonstrably nabigo upang panatilihin ang mga bawal na gamot ng mga kamay ng mga tao na gusto ang mga ito - lamang gawin itong mas mahirap para sa mga tao tulad ng Houston sa umamin at humingi ng mga problema para sa kanilang mga problema? Ang bawat tao'y alam na ito ay hindi madaling bagay para sa mga addicts o problema ng mga gumagamit ng anumang bagay na sa umamin kailangan nila ng tulong.

Tässä on kysymys kannattajat huumesotaa: Onko kielto - joka todistettavasti ei pidä laittomien huumeiden käsistä ihmisiä, jotka haluavat niitä - siis ainoastaan se, että paljon vaikeampaa ihmisiä kuin Houston tunnustaa ja etsiä ongelmia heidän ongelmiinsa?

Popstar Whitney Houston ist im Alter von 48 Toten. Während die offizielle Todesursache wurde noch nicht angekündigt, sie hatte eine lange Geschichte der Drogenprobleme und war in und aus der Reha im Laufe der Jahre und es ist wahrscheinlich, dass Drogenmissbrauch eine Rolle gespielt. Wie USA Today erinnert uns daran,
[2002] sie hat ein Interview mit Diane Sawyer zu ihrem kommenden fördern Just Whitney. Sie gab zu, den Gebrauch von Drogen in der stark beobachtete TV-Interview, das sie berühmt-berüchtigten Erklärung aufgenommen, "Crack ist billig. Ich mache zu viel Geld, um überhaupt rauchen Crack. Lasst uns, dass gerade. OK? Wir machen das nicht knacken. Wir tun nicht tun. Riss wack ist. "...
In einem 2009 Interview mit Oprah Winfrey zu fördern ich zu dir schauen, Houston ... gestand, dass sie ihren Rock mit Marihuana Kokain geschnürt und zeigte, dass sie würde Zeit in der Reha verbracht und erlebt hatte eine Intervention von ihrer Mutter.
Hier ist eine Frage für die Befürworter der Drogenkrieg: Hat Verbot - die nachweislich nicht illegale Drogen halten aus den Händen von Menschen, die sie wollen - machen es einfach, die viel schwerer für Leute wie Houston zugeben und versuchen Probleme für ihre Probleme? Jeder weiß, dass es keine leichte Sache für Suchtkranke oder problematischem Konsum etwas zuzugeben, dass sie Hilfe benötigen ist. Ist das Verhalten kriminalisiert oben auf alles andere, dass es viel schwieriger, für solche Leute, die Hilfe suchen, die sie benötigen?

Pòp etwal Whitney Houston se mouri a laj de 48. Pandan kòz ofisyèl la nan lanmò pa gen ankò te anonse, li te gen yon istwa depi lontan nan pwoblèm dwòg, li te nan ak soti nan reyabilitasyon sou ane yo epi li posib ke abi sibstans te jwe kèk wòl. Kòm USA Today fè nou sonje
[Nan lane 2002] li te fè yon entèvyou avèk Diane Sawyer ankouraje kap vini li Jis Whitney. Li admèt lè l sèvi avèk dwòg nan entèvyou nan televizyon trè ap gade, ki gen ladan deklarasyon trist li, "krak se bon mache. Mwen fè twòp lajan janm fimen krak. Ann jwenn ki dwat. OK? Nou pa fè krak. Nou pa fè sa fè sa. krak se wack. "...
Nan yon entèvyou 2009 ak Oprah Winfrey ankouraje mwen konte sou ou, Houston ... konfese ke li lase marigwana l 'ak kokayin wòch epi li devwale ke li ta pase tan nan reyabilitasyon ak te sibi yon entèvansyon pa manman li.
Men yon kesyon pou défenseur nan lagè a dwòg: Èske Pwoyibisyon - ki demontre echwe kenbe dwòg ilegal soti nan men yo a moun ki vle yo - senpleman fè li ki pi difisil pou moun tankou Houston admèt epi chèche pwoblèm pou pwoblèm yo? Tout moun konnen ke li genyen okenn bagay fasil pou dwogè oswa itilizatè pwoblèm nan anyen admèt yo bezwen èd.

Popsztár Whitney Houston halott évesen 48. Míg a hivatalos halálokot még nem jelentette be, ő már régóta a kábítószer-problémák és a volt ki-és rehabilitációs az évek, és akkor valószínű, hogy kábítószer játszott némi szerepet. Például az USA Today emlékeztet bennünket
[2002] is tett egy interjúban Diane Sawyer előmozdítása őt közelgő Just Whitney. Bevallotta a drogokról a rendkívül nézett televíziós interjúban, amely magában foglalta ő hírhedt nyilatkozatát, "Crack olcsó. Én túl sok pénzt, hogy valaha dohányozni crack. Menjünk, hogy egyenes. OK? Nem végzünk crack. Mi nem csinálni. Crack légkört teremteni a többi. "...
Egy interjúban 2009 Oprah Winfrey támogatása I Look To You, Houston ... bevallotta, hogy ő neki marihuánát tarkított rock kokaint, és kiderült, hogy ő lenne időt töltött elvonókúrán esett át, és a beavatkozás az anyja.
Itt egy kérdés támogatói a kábítószer-háború: e tilalom - amely bizonyíthatóan nem tartja az illegális drogok közül a kezében, akik szeretnék őket - egyszerűen csak teszik, hogy sokkal nehezebb az embereknek, mint Houston, és megpróbálja bevallani problémákat a problémáikat? Mindenki tudja, hogy ez nem könnyű dolog, a szenvedélybetegek, illetve a probléma a felhasználók bármit is elismerte, hogy segítségre van szükségük. Vajon kriminalizálásának viselkedése felül mindent mást tenni, hogy sokkal nehezebb az ilyen emberek keresik a szükséges segítséget?

Poppstjarna Whitney Houston er dauður á aldrinum 48. Þótt opinber dánarorsök hefur ekki enn verið tilkynnt, hafði hún á sér langa sögu af vanda vegna vímuefnaneyslu, og var í og út úr rehab í gegnum árin og það er líklegt að notkun vímuefna lék nokkur hlutverk. Eins og Bandaríkjunum í dag minnir okkur

Ég gera of mikið fé að alltaf reykja sprunga. Skulum fá að beint. Lagi? Við gerum ekki sprunga. Við gerum ekki gera það. Crack er Wack. "...

La pop star Whitney Houston è morto all'età di 48. Mentre la causa ufficiale della morte non è ancora stato annunciato, ha avuto una lunga storia di problemi di droga ed è stato dentro e fuori di riabilitazione nel corso degli anni ed è probabile che l'abuso di sostanze giocato un qualche ruolo. Come ci ricorda USA Today
[Nel 2002] ha fatto un'intervista con Diane Sawyer per promuovere il suo prossimo solo Whitney. Ha ammesso di aver usato droghe in un'intervista televisiva molto guardato, che comprendeva la sua dichiarazione infame, "Crack è a buon mercato. Faccio troppi soldi per fumare dovesse incrinarsi. Andiamo quella retta. OK? Noi non facciamo crack. Noi non farlo. Crack è wack. "...
In una intervista del 2009 con Oprah Winfrey per promuovere I Look To You, Houston ... ha confessato che ha cucita la marijuana con la cocaina rock e ha rivelato che aveva trascorso del tempo in riabilitazione e aveva subito un intervento da sua madre.
Ecco una domanda per i sostenitori della guerra alla droga: La proibizione - che evidentemente non riesce a tenere droghe illegali dalle mani di persone che vogliono loro - semplicemente lo rendono molto più difficile per le persone come Houston di ammettere i problemi e cercare per i loro problemi? Tutti sanno che non è cosa facile per i tossicodipendenti o consumatori problematici di tutto ciò ad ammettere hanno bisogno di aiuto. Non criminalizzare il comportamento al di sopra di ogni altra cosa che rende molto più difficile per queste persone a cercare l'aiuto di cui hanno bisogno?

A pop star Whitney Houston é morto com a idade de 48.

Em uma entrevista de 2009 com Oprah Winfrey para promover a I Look To You, Houston ... confessou que sua maconha misturada com cocaína rock e revelou que ela tinha passado um tempo numa clínica de reabilitação e tivesse sofrido uma intervenção de sua mãe.
Aqui está uma pergunta para os defensores da guerra contra as drogas: A proibição - que comprovadamente não consegue manter as drogas ilegais fora das mãos de pessoas que querem eles - simplesmente torna muito mais difícil para pessoas como Houston admitir e procurar problemas para os seus problemas? Todo mundo sabe que não é coisa fácil para viciados ou usuários problemáticos de qualquer coisa para admitir que precisam de ajuda. Será que criminalizar o comportamento em cima de tudo o mais torna muito mais difícil para essas pessoas a procurar a ajuda que eles precisam?

I hate censors. I would never advocate banning anyone from posting anything they want to say here or on any other site....but this is beyond the bounds of reason.

Iata o intrebare pentru sustinatorii de război de droguri: Are interdicţie - în mod demonstrabil, care nu reuşeşte să ţină droguri ilegale din mâinile unor persoane care le doresc - pur şi simplu face ca mult mai greu pentru oameni, cum ar fi Houston sa admita si sa caute probleme pentru problemele lor?

Tukaj je vprašanje za zagovornikov vojne na področju drog: Ali prepoved - ki očitno ne vodi prepovedanih drog iz rok ljudi, ki jih želijo - preprosto bi bilo, da je veliko težje za ljudi, kot Houston priznati in iščejo težave za njihove probleme? Vsakdo ve, da to ni lahka stvar za odvisnike ali problematičnih uporabnikov kaj bodo priznali, da potrebujejo pomoč.

Pop Whitney Houston amekufa akiwa na umri wa 48. Wakati sababu rasmi ya kifo bado alitangaza, yeye alikuwa na historia ya muda mrefu ya matatizo ya madawa ya kulevya na alikuwa ndani na nje ya Rehab zaidi ya miaka na ni uwezekano kwamba baadhi ya kulevya alicheza nafasi. Kama Marekani leo inatukumbusha
[Katika mwaka 2002] anafanya hivyo mahojiano na Diane Sawyer kukuza ujao yake tu Whitney. Alikiri kutumia madawa ya kulevya katika mahojiano sana kuangalia TV, ambayo ni pamoja na tamko lake Infamous, "Crack ni nafuu mimi kufanya fedha nyingi mno kwa milele moshi ufa.. Hebu kupata kwamba moja kwa moja. OK Sisi? Si kufanya ufa. Hatukupigi kufanya hivyo. Crack ni wack ". ...
Katika mahojiano 2009 na Oprah Winfrey kukuza I Look To You, Houston ... alikiri kuwa yeye laced bangi yake na cocaine mwamba na kudhihirisha kwamba yeye d kutumia muda katika Rehab na walikuwa wamekwisha kuingilia kati na mama yake.
Hapa ni swali kwa wapinzani wa vita madawa ya kulevya: Je, kukataza - ambayo demonstrably inashindwa kuweka dawa za kulevya nje ya mikono ya watu ambao wanataka yao - tu kufanya hivyo kuwa vigumu kwa watu kama Houston kukubali na kutafuta matatizo kwa ajili ya matatizo yao? Kila mtu anajua kwamba ni hakuna kitu rahisi kwa watumiaji wa madawa au watumiaji tatizo la kitu chochote kukubali wanahitaji msaada. Je, tabia ya jinai juu ya kila kitu kingine kufanya ni kuwa vigumu sana kwa ajili ya watu kama hao kutafuta msaada wanahitaji?
Hapa ni moja ya nyimbo Houston wa saini:
White Indian|2.12.12 @ 1:08PM|#
Pop-stjärnan Whitney Houston är död vid en ålder av 48. Medan den officiella dödsorsaken har ännu inte meddelat, hade hon en lång historia av drogproblem och var in och ut rehab under åren och det är troligt att missbruk spelat en viss roll. Som USA Today påminner oss om
[År 2002] hon gjorde en intervju med Diane Sawyer för att främja hennes kommande Just Whitney. Hon erkände att använda droger i den mycket såg tv-intervju, som inkluderade hennes ökända deklaration, "Crack är billigt. Jag gör för mycket pengar för att någonsin röka crack. Låt oss få det rakt. Okej? Vi gör spricka. Vi vill inte göra det. Crack är Wack. "...
I en 2009 intervju med Oprah Winfrey för att främja jag ser dig, Houston ... erkände att hon spetsad hennes marijuana med rock kokain och avslöjade att hon hade tillbringat tid på rehab och hade genomgått ett inlägg från sin mor.
Här är en fråga för förespråkare av läkemedlet kriget: Har förbudet - som bevisligen inte håller narkotika ur händerna på människor som vill ha dem - helt enkelt göra det så mycket svårare för människor som Houston att erkänna och söka problem för sina problem? Alla vet att det är ingen lätt sak för missbrukare eller användare problem på något att erkänna att de behöver hjälp. Gör kriminalisera beteendet ovanpå allt annat det så mycket svårare att för sådana människor att söka den hjälp de behöver?
Här är en av Houstons signatur låtar:
White Indian|2.12.12 @ 1:08PM|#
Pop yıldızı Whitney Houston 48 yaşında öldü. Ölüm nedeni henüz resmi ilan edilmiş olsa da, o uyuşturucu sorunlarının uzun bir geçmişi vardı ve dışarı yılda rehabilitasyon vardı ve madde kötüye kullanımı, bazı rol oynamış olması olasıdır. USA Today gibi bize hatırlatıyor
[2002 yılında] o sadece Whitney ona yaklaşan teşvik etmek Diane Sawyer ile bir röportaj yaptı. O rezil beyanı dahil çok izlenen TV röportajda, uyuşturucu kullandığını itiraf, "Crack ucuzdur. Hiç çatlak sigaraya çok para kazanmak. En düz. Tamam mı? Biz çatlak yapmayın dönelim. Yapmıyoruz . Crack wack olduğunu yapın. "...
Ben, To You Look Houston teşvik etmek ... Oprah Winfrey ile 2009 röportajda kaya kokain ile onu esrar bağcıklı itiraf etti ve o rehabilitasyon geçirdi ediyorum ve annesi tarafından bir müdahale geçirmiş olduğu anlaşıldı.
İşte uyuşturucuya karşı savaş taraftarları için bir soru: yasağı mı - kanıtlanabilir onları istediğiniz kişilerin eline yasadışı ilaçlar dışında tutmak için başarısız - ki sadece bunu yapmak onların sorunlarının giderilmesi itiraf ve aramaya Houston gibi insanlar için çok daha zor? Herkes bağımlıları ya da yardıma ihtiyaç itiraf şey sorun kullanıcıları için hiç de kolay bir şey olduğunu bilir. Her şeyin üstüne davranışı suç sayan bu insanların ihtiyaç duydukları yardım almak için bunu o kadar zor olur mu?

A couple of days ago I published a Diary called "They Teach Their Children to Hate"
While I am slowly getting used to living among the Evangelical Religious Right, they still manage to shock me. Today I got another lesson in why it is reasonable to not underestimate the power of the Cult.
In this case, the Cult is the Southern Baptist Convention.
What follows comes straight from the thoughts of a fairly typical teen.
As a Dad I am fiercely protective of my kids. I do not respond well when they are hurt, and especially when that pain is inflicted by another. Sure the intellectual side of me simply accepts that growing up is not a pain free business. Learning the boundaries of social behaviour is hard. We all went through it and in that experience lies the concerns of a parent. We want to protect them, but we know we can't, and actually, we shouldn't even try.
We have to let them experience some level of distress, and we try to ensure that happens in as controlled an environment as possible, and that we are there to pick them up when they stumble. As stumble they will, and they must.
My daughter's early forays into "affairs of the heart" are, apparently, causing her less distress than they are provoking in me. I hope that is a tribute to the way her Mom and I have always encouraged her to explore, to question, and to be her own person.
But there is more than a simple "boy meets girl, boy dumps girl" thing going on here. What is happening to this boy, so typical of so many in this town worries me. Mackenzie will be fine, but I wonder about the path being followed by many others.
What follows is the transcripts of two Facebook posts lifted directly from the pages of the boy concerned. My daughter showed them to Mrs Twigg, they were posted in full view to anyone who could access the page, which is pretty much everyone who has any contact with this boy's school, friends or Church. All the names have been either removed or disguised, this is for the content, not the identities.
One the one hand this boy is intelligent and thoughtful. I simply worry about what he is thinking. Read it, form a view, then please talk me down:
Listen guys, I've been in deep prayer with God lately. I've seen multiple signs from him and many people just talking about the subject of dating. My Youth Group even started a new study on Wednesday nights for it! I have done alot of research in God's Word, and I've realized having a girlfriend isn't the best for me, or anybody really.
1) It distracts you from God and into the world's ways.
2) God's plan isn't for me to be dating so young. If you want to see a big fraction of my logic here, check out 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8. I hope everybody understands that I cherished my relationship with **, and it was hard for me to let her go. It wasn't done lightly. I questioned God multiple times, begging there had to be another way, but the answer stayed the same. I'm sorry if I've offended anybody with my desicion, but I have a sense of security in my heart that God has led me the right way
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those of you wondering about my life atm (skip to the bottom for my view):
Optimist view: You got to stay at home today! It was a good day of rest, and to top it off you were well enough to be at the NJHS graduation! About your girl problems....there are other fish in the sea.
Pessimist view: You were sick, so make-up work over the weekend. Of course, you THOUGHT you could go to the NJHS graduation, but your face started turning bright red because of your fever right when you were walking up there. Plus, you lost your girl friend. Good job.
Literalist view: You missed a day of school. You lost your girlfriend. You suceeded in learning some new things today musicly though, plus you went to your NJHS ceremony. I'm nuetral.
Critic view: You didn't feel to bad, you should've convinced your mom to let you go to school! And what's up with dumping your girlfriend the week before Valentine's Day? Hmmm? Pretty ignorant I'd say. And what's up with this stupid post with all of these different views....
Aethiest View: You dumped your girl friend because of a God? Dumb.
Christian View: I'm praying for you man :) You seem to have things under control with your sickness, and emotionaly your pretty strong. Congrats on your NJHS, and as long as you stick with God things will be just fine.
Strong Christian View: These guys don't know what they are talking about ^^ You know exactly what you're doing. God is really working in your life right now, and I know you're finding ways right now to evangilise with it. I also respect your desicion on letting your girl off, but lightly. God's plan for your life was NOT to have you dating at 13, and that pretty much goes for everybody reading this post!
MY VIEW: Listen guys, I've been in deep prayer with God lately. I've seen multiple signs from him and many people just talking about the subject of dating. My Youth Group even started a new study on Wednesday nights for it! I have done alot of research in God's Word, and I've realized having a girlfriend isn't the best for me, or anybody really.
1) It distracts you from God and into the world's ways.
2) God's plan isn't for me to be dating so young.

I'm sorry if I've offended anybody with my desicion, but I have a sense of security in my heart that God has led me the right way.
My own thoughts on this are far from clear. First thing that springs to mind is that maybe I should forward it to his English teacher, because the spelling and grammar could use a little work. This is swiftly followed by a growing dismay that a child would create any part of this then post it for everyone in his life to see and comment on. I didn't, comment that is.
Quite frankly I don't know what to say.
"Hey kid, love the introspection but next time pick someone else's daughter will ya".
"Son, you can talk to your imaginary friend until the cows come home, but do that to Mackenzie again and you will be talking to me".
"wtf"
"Young man. It is considered impolite to use girls to work out your relationship with your God".
See ... Lots of potential responses, all of them rubbish.
To anyone out there who is tempted to think that the way organised churches are helping their young people develop (sic) is in any way benign, I urge you to read that again and understand that it is but a small insight into what our children are facing every day. That is today, tomorrow, then next day and all the days after that until they are old enough to either reject it, or be buried under it.
Remember too that in this area, this boy could post that on his Facebook wall and be assured of a very positive reaction or, as in my case, no reaction because .... I feel for him and his entire circle and ...
I am quite lost for words.
It would be easy for me to be reading far too much into this, because I am a Dad, and she is my gorgeous daughter. I would wholly accept that suggestion were it not simply that this is but one example. There are many others.

I had never googled Jason Gordesky, who is apparently White Indian. What a fat tub of shit. It is a little hard to gambol and live the tribal life if you don't mix in a salad once in a while. No wonder this guy hates agriculture; due to his lack of impulse control, civilization has made him into a whale.

Dude, there's this awesome blog post about this guy from a fellow enviro, one that is critical of how extreme he is. I can't find that exact one, but here's another from a fellow enviro that is also critical:

It is odd he washed up here CW. You would think he would be stalking the enviro blogs for them being insufficiently pure. Most of these nuts are more concerned with purging the unbelievers on their side than they are with harassing the other side.
cw|2.12.12 @ 2:53PM|#
What I don't get is, if civilization is going to collapse (which these primitivists believe is an absolute certainty), then why even bother debating people like us? Is he trying to save us?
Given that he thinks people with autism are psychopaths, I tend to think he's simply a misanthropic twit.
|2.12.12 @ 2:59PM|#
The people who honestly think civilization is going to collapse are living in the woods somewhere, don't have face book pages, and don't spent their time writing epistles to the Reasonites.
He is just a slightly unbalanced loser. I guess Reason should consider itself lucky to have had such open threads for so many years and never attracted the attention of one these nuts before.

Fuck the motherfucker, and fuck you motherfucker
If you think that motherfucker is sacred (fucking motherfucker)
If you cover for another motherfucker who's a kiddie fucker
Fuck you you're no better then the mother fucking rapist
And if you don't like this swearing that this motherfucker forced from me
And reckon it shows moral or intellectual paucity
Then fuck you motherfucker, this is language one employs
When one is fucking cross about fuckers fucking boys
I don't give a fuck if calling the pope a motherfucker
Means you unthinkingly brand me an unthinking apostate, and
This has naught to do with other fucking godly motherfuckers
I'm not interested right now in fucking scriptural debate
There are other fucking songs and there are other fucking ways
I'll be a religious apologist on other fucking days
And the fact remains that if you protect a single kiddie fucker
Then pope or prince or plumber you're a fucking motherfucker
You see I don't give a fuck what any other motherfucker
Believes about Jesus and his motherfucking mother
I've no problem with the spiritual beliefs of all these fuckers
While those beliefs don't impact on the happiness of others
But if you build your church on claims of fucking moral authority
And with threats of hell impose it on others in society
Then you, you motherfuckers, can expect some fucking wrath
When it turn out you've been fucking us in our motherfucking asses
So fuck the motherfucker and fuck you motherfucker
If you're still a motherfucking papist (fucking motherfucker)
If you covered for a single motherfucker who's a kiddie fucker,
Fuck the motherfucker he's as evil as the rapist
And if you look into your motherfucking heart and tell me true
If this motherfucking stupid fucking song offended you
With its filthy fucking language and its fucking disrespect
If it made you feel angry go ahead and write a letter
But if you find me more offensive than the fucking possibility
The pope protected priests when they were getting fucking fiddly
Then listen to me motherfucker, this here is a fact
You are just as morally misguided as that motherfucking
Power-hungry, self-aggrandised bigot in the stupid fucking hat
Fuck the motherfucker, Fuck the motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker, he's a fucking motherfucker

ason was born in Pittsburgh in 1982, and lived for a time in Newport News, Virginia. Soon after returning to Pittsburgh, Jason became a devout Catholic. He attended a mix of public and Catholic schools from kindergarten through high school, finally entering the University of Pittsburgh in 1999 and graduating in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology and Computer Science. While at the University of Pittsburgh, Jason became the founding member of Tribal Dawn, which he later left to found another occupational tribe, "Anthropik Media." Anthropik Media never succeeded the way Jason had originally intended, but it did morph into the current Tribe of Anthropik.

Bull. Spoofing (ie posting under the exact same name as an established commenter) should be grounds for immediate ban.

Then I remembered something that happened when I was in college. A girlfriend called me at 3am and asked me to get some guy out of her house. Turns out the guy was invited for dinner by her roommate. He had a crush on her, so after dinner he stuck around. And stuck around. And stuck around. He wouldnt leave. When I showed up I told him it was time to go home the girls needed sleep. His response? " I dont want to go home".
Typical of the mentally ill, everything was about him. I called the cops and they came and had to carry the guy out. He even pulled the door frame loose as he went out the door carried feet first.
I wonder how many times good ole jason has been asked to leave someones private property?

As indeed it does.
"Stick to one supposed benefit at a time. Your enjoyment of a mouth full of fat and blood != ending starvation."
You might take your won advice; I never claimed it 'ended starvation'. What I did say is that using land to grow food I like isn't 'wasting' the land.

Technically that's not true. If billions of calories suddenly went missing, someone would starve.
|2.12.12 @ 3:08PM|#
The manure itself is pretty nasty, too. Pigs on factory farms are given daily doses of antibiotics and growth-promoting additives like ractopamine, much of which ends up in their waste.
Yes, it's the antibiotics and growth hormones that make pig shit nasty.

The floors are slatted to allow excrement to fall into a catchment pit under the pens, but many things besides excrement can wind up in the pits: afterbirths, piglets accidentally crushed by their mothers, old batteries, broken bottles of insecticide, syringes, stillborn pigs—anything small enough to fit through the foot-wide pipes that drain the pits.
We obviously need a war on insecticide injecting hogs.

I don't think the WOD has much to do with Whitney Houston's death. Many celebrities have gone to rehab after being addicted to illegal substances and haven't faced much in the way of government-sanctioned punishment.
Some people simply don't get the help they need - addiction can be quite overpowering, if I may state the obvious.
You know, Occam's Razor and all that.
But still, I do put the WOD up there with Obamacare, the Alien and Sedition Acts, the FAIRNESS Doctrine, the PATRIOT ACT, Davis-Bacon, and the twin turds SOPA/PIPA as, at best, terrible public policy, and, at worst, laws that are antithetical to a free republic.

You'd need a decade of dedicated research to even attempt to identify all the laws and regulations that are unjustifiable and in effect right now. Here's an interesting semi-OT tidbit for you:
"Estimates of the current size of the body of federal criminal laws vary. It has been reported that the Congressional Research Service cannot even count the current number of federal crimes . And these laws are scattered in over 50 titles of the United States Code, encompassing roughly 27,000 pages. Worse yet, the statutory code sections often incorporate, by reference, the provisions and sanctions of administrative regulations promulgated by various regulatory agencies. Estimates of how many such regulations exist are even less well settled, but the ABA thinks there are nearly 10,000."

That's the thing, Francisco. That's what works with most trolls, because most trolls have a functional brain, and they become boredom of being ignored. This guy doesn't have a functional brain.

There is no way we can thrive in this era without this kind of public-private partnership. We need strong government, but limited government, which enables our companies and individuals to compete globally. It’s the kind of public-private partnership that Republicans like Dwight Eisenhower and George H.W. Bush embraced.

THE CULT OF CATS – Contribution and Tax Exemption Status Re-think
OUTSIDE PEST VS INSIDE PETS
The Cult of Cats the [ASPCA] The American Society for the Protection of Cruelty against Animals – The Humane Society – and Feral Cat Society, do not understand the concept of property rights, business concerns and rights, the protection of endangered species, or floral and fauna, these organizations once again place the sub-species of [CATS] above the human species, they are unable to differentiate between a [CAT] as an Outside Pest an undomesticated wild sub-species, and that of an Inside [Cat] as a Pet a domesticated wild sub-species, or a Pet that when in an outside environment as a dog is by its master, must be under the direct control of its master, a cat is a sub-species to that of the human species it is a the human is the master and the cat is the sub-species, the cat does not control the human the human must be its master and in total control of that sub-species. Thus it flies in the face of common sense with an a entire Pet and Pet Supply Industry devoted to the care and maintenance of any and all pet sub-species, that this concept eludes that of the The Cult of Cats the [ASPCA] The American Society for the Protection of Cruelty against Animals – The Humane Society – and Feral Cat Society. If the [CAT] sub-species is not under the control of dominate Human Master Species in an outside environment it is no longer a pet but a pest and must be seen for what it is a sub-species pest, and The Republic of California, the County of San Diego, has [1/2M] One – Half Million such pests under the protection of the The Cult of Cats the [ASPCA] The American Society for the Protection of Cruelty against Animals – The Humane Society – and Feral Cat Society, the American – Israeli Military Industrial Complex – [The Empire], it is time to change things.
THE CULT OF CATS - The ASPCA - Humane Society – Feral Cat Society
It has come time for a re-thinking of the continued tax exemption status of the [ASPCA] The American Society for the Protection of Cruelty against Animals – The Humane Society – and Feral Cat Society in view of their anti-business, anti-community, anti-environmental, and anti-national security positions in their support of the rights of Cats. These organizations place the rights of Cats totally and completely above the Rights of the Human Species; it is one matter to have concerns about the treatment of a species but yet another to place that species [Cats] above and beyond other more pressing issues. Business and Property owners have the right to the control of their property rights and legal business interests, Hotel, Motel, and other business concerns have the right to take whatever actions they feel necessary to protect not only their property but their guests, and clients from pests [Cats], and this right extends to that of home owners, and renters upon rental property. But the Cult of Cats the [ASPCA] The American Society for the Protection of Cruelty against Animals – The Humane Society – and Feral Cat Society, have established a policy of a confrontational and combative nature it is not the Cat pest problem but the business or the individual who is at fault. The Cult of Cats does not approach the matter as one in which the problem is the Cat Pest Problem, that needs to be dealt with and resolved but that the business or individual property owner, or renter must be educated to the Rights of Cats, to free unrestricted, and unmolested access at all times and that if cats have established a residence upon that business, private property, or rental property that business, private property owner, or rental property resident is totally and completely responsible for the welfare of the Pest Cats. These organizations are not about Animal Control but Animal Right above and beyond Mankind and the interest of the Human Species.
CONTRIBUTION AND TAX EXEMPTION RE-THINK
It has come time for to re-think the tax exemption status of the Cult of Cats the [ASPCA] The American Society for the Protection of Cruelty against Animals – The Humane Society – and Feral Cat Society, and contributions make by individuals as a tax exemption, as these organizations no longer serve the public or its interests, but that of Rights of select species above all other interests both public and private, that individual contributors may indeed continue their donations to these organizations if they so desire but without a tax exemption, but it would be far better if their contributions were directed to the interest that would far better sever the interest of Mankind, and these include [UNICEF], Doctors without boarders, the Cancer Society, the AIDS Foundation. The American – Israeli Military Industrial Complex [The Empire], has [100K] One – Hundred Thousand Veterans of their Wars of Economic Stimulus, spread across the length and breath of its vast territory may suffering from [PTSD] Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, formally know as Shell Shock, one community within its vastness only provides a week of help to these individuals, The Republic of California, County of San Diego, and no other, and there is the hope of a vast return to be make by such contributions, which do not contribution to the destruction of private and business interests, the destruction of the environment and the placement of a sub-species interests above that of the human condition, and interest, the Cult of Cats the [ASPCA] The American Society for the Protection of Cruelty against Animals – The Humane Society – and Feral Cat Society, and contribution are once again upon a contribution drive, it is suggested at after viewing their presentations, view those of children around the globe and within the local community, who are not Pets, but are part of the Human Species, and re-think which will bring the greater return on the investment of contribution dollars, will a [CAT] pest bring about world peace, create a method of feeding the entire worlds growing population, be an artist whose plight needs the greater response, which species, in it is time for a CULT OF CATS – Contribution and Tax Exemption Status Re-think

no football
College football playoff gaini|2.12.12 @ 8:56PM|#
In a nationwide Gallup Poll five years ago, 85 percent of college football fans favored replacing the BCS system with some form of playoff.
Such overwhelming public demand, though, did little to move the sport's power brokers from their long-entrenched opposition to a playoff.
Until now, it seems.
The opposition has softened -- enough so that University of Georgia president Michael Adams last week predicted that a four- or eight-team playoff will be a reality within two years.
His prediction was precipitated by a report that the Big Ten, long a staunch opponent of a playoff, has warmed considerably to the idea.
A deal is far from done, and even though there is a new openness to exploring a limited playoff, there is not a consensus on what form it should take. But the needle clearly has moved in the direction of a playoff, which fans long have clamored for and university presidents, conference commissioners and bowl bosses long have resisted.
What changed? Conference realignments altered some dynamics. TV ratings and attendance declined for many bowls. Last month's all-SEC national title game stirred sentiment for broadening the field. And resistance eroded under relentless criticism of the 14-year-old BCS.
"One of my major concerns all along has been that I didn't think we were paying enough attention to the fans who foot the bill for all this," Adams said, "and I think that realization is beginning to come home."
Adams was among the early college presidents to advocate a playoff, pitching an eight-team version in 2008 that went nowhere.
Later that year, SEC commissioner Mike Slive proposed a so-called "plus-one" format, basically a four-team playoff. The plan called for the top four teams in the BCS standings to be paired in two bowl games -- No. 1 vs. No. 4 and No. 2 vs. No. 3 –- with the winners meeting in a championship game. But the SEC proposal drew support only from the ACC and opposition from the Big Ten, Pac-10 (now Pac-12), Big 12, Big East and Notre Dame as the BCS stuck with its controversial system of a national-title game between the teams that finish the regular season Nos. 1 and 2.
Fast-forward to 2012, and the climate has changed.
When 11 conference commissioners and Notre Dame's athletic director met last month to discuss the future of the BCS, there was, by all accounts, widespread willingness to discuss playoff possibilities. BCS executive director Bill Hancock said after the meeting that 50 or 60 bowl/playoff options were floated.
Current BCS contracts end with the 2013 season, and the goal is to determine any changes by this summer and have them take effect for the 2014 season. Further meetings of the BCS decision-makers are scheduled, the next one late this month.
Momentum seems to be building between meetings.
The Chicago Tribune reported last week that Big Ten members are kicking around an idea for a four-team playoff in which the semifinals would be played on the campuses of the higher-seeded teams and the final would be bid out to potential host cities, a la the Super Bowl.
Also last week, The Arizona Republic reported that Michael Crow, president of Pac-12 member Arizona State, is pushing a playoff that would include the eight highest-ranked conference champions.
"It's no secret that the biggest impediments to [a playoff] historically have been the . . . Big Ten and Pac-12," Adams said. "And so the fact that they are seemingly beginning to change their view will make this all maybe possible."
NCAA president Mark Emmert endorsed a four-team playoff last month, telling reporters at the NCAA convention that the concept "makes good sense" as long as it doesn't grow into a larger tournament.
Certainly, ample opportunity exists for the momentum toward a limited playoff to be stopped or reversed. Among the questions to be sorted through:
How would playoff teams be chosen and seeded? How would the regular season, bowls and players be impacted? How much money would be produced and how would it be dispersed? When and where would the games be played? Would a four-team playoff, which seems to have the most support, put the sport on the road to a larger playoff, which still seems out of bounds to many schools? And in the end, would college presidents agree on a plan?
"What would it look like and whether it's actually going to happen, all of that is premature," Slive told members of the Nashville Sports Council last week. "I think we need the time to sit down and analyze it. We need time to take ideas back to our respective conferences and … [have] a decision to be made sometime later this year."

I am not sure what you are doing, but with carbonara, like hollandaise, the trick is to get the egg yolk mixed in without cooking it. If you are heating any of the ingredients too much before mixing with the egg you will get a grainy texture and it wont set right.

The irony of the whole White Indian thing is that when they started posting on here people did engage them. They pointed out the obvious facts that if their philosophy was ever put into worldwide practice 95% or more of the population. And that if these people believed in the tribal life, why were they not living it. None of that received any rational response other than more cut and paste.
It is the second point that really cuts to the chase here. There are people out there who are not shit primitivists. They don't want what society has to offer and they check out. There is a really great documentary called "Alone in the Wilderness". It was made in the 1970s about this guy who back in the 1950s his wife died and he said to hell with it and moved to the Alaska wilderness. The only thing he used that was not made on site, was ammunition (because you cannot live alone in the Alaska wilderness without large caliber firearms, a bear will eventually eat you) and some tar paper for the root of his cabin. That was it. He lived on this lake miles from anywhere until he was in his 90s. The place is still there as a museum. This guy is not alone. There is a whole underground of modern day mountain men. There are people who go to places like New Guinea and actually join the tribe. They do exist. You can do it.
I think these people are a bit nuts. But having spent some time in the real wilderness, I can't help but respect the hell out of them. That is what makes the White Indian tribe so appalling. To claim to believe in the primitive lifestyle and then be some fat tub of shit living in Pittsburgh wearing your Batman t-shirt on your facebook page is just pathetic. Actually pathetic is too weak of a word. Childish would be better. These people are no different than geeky 12 year olds pretending to be vampires after reading the Twilight Series.

And they know what they are doing. They are a little crazy. I couldn't do it. But you have to respect them. And people like WI and his crew are a real insult to the real thing.

Yeah, he was stupid about wilderness survival. As I read "ITW" it dawned on me though that McCandless was sort of a special being; not just a foolish free spirit but a person who consistently saw things in life that most of us would never bother to imagine.

You don't have to be. You can form your own tribe. There is endless wilderness in Alaska. Lots of people have done it. They are called communes. You are just too pathetic to do it. And you are too lazy to learn the actual skills it would take to do it. It is easier to pontificate. Learning how to actually live in the wild is hard. That is why you are childish and pathetic.
Communes = Civilizaition|2.12.12 @ 5:51PM|#
John, you're as stupid as a mud fence. Communes are agricultural, dumbfuck. Who wants to dig the dirt?
|2.12.12 @ 5:56PM|#
Then go hunt and gather. There is plenty of space to do it. And again, what have you ever done in your life to attempt to gain the skills to live that lifestyle? Even if you couldn't live it perfectly, you could try to get close. And getting close doesn't involve being a fat fuck living in Pittsburgh. It involves embracing the way of life and learning how to live it. Hunting is serious skill that takes a lifetime to learn, especially if you are going to do it without firearms. So is gathering food. Just knowing what plants won't kill you is a skill.
You have none of that. If you did, you would be out doing it, not stuffing your fat face with cheese burgers.
|2.12.12 @ 5:58PM|#
And you will be digging dirt if you want to live dumb ass. How do you plan to preserve or cook your food, if you can't dig a hole? How do you plan to gather food, if you won't dig up wild root vegetables.
You are just fucking retarded. You couldn't live two days at a remote rest stop. That is why you are childish and pathetic.
|2.12.12 @ 6:03PM|#
My ten-year-old nephew has successfully hunted before, and all he had was safety supervision, so the only time I'd communicate at all with him was to warn him not to stick the gun in his mouth, so to speak.
I bet His Holy Obesity, Tarzan Junior, hasn't even walked more than 100 feet in his fat fucking life history. Fuck him.
|2.12.12 @ 6:06PM|#
RPA,
There is a whole sub culture of people who hunt with primitive weapons. It is a world beyond using firearms. If you really though gamboling is the way, that would be the first skill you would learn because Remington Arms won't be operating in gambol paradise.
|2.12.12 @ 6:21PM|#

5 Common Objections to Primitivism, and Why They’re Wrong
by Jason Godesky | 26 October 2005
http://www.rewild.info/anthrop.....yre-wrong/
Lame Objections to Primitivism|2.12.12 @ 5:44PM|#
Objection #1. Isn’t it hypocritical of primitivists to use modern technology? If they want to live primitively so badly, why don’t they just run off into the woods already and do it?
Objection #5. Primitivists are genocidal maniacs whose planned “utopia” requires them to orchestrate the mass murder of 99% of the human population!
|2.12.12 @ 5:48PM|#
If you really believe in the lifestyle, you go live it. People do all of the time. If you think something is the way to be, you go be it. If you don't, then you really don't believe what you say.
People do all of the time.|2.12.12 @ 5:50PM|#
Who?
Living in the woods by yourself isn't a non-state tribal lifeway, you Kansas nitwit.
|2.12.12 @ 5:54PM|#
But living in a group is. And even a lone it is a lot closer to it than sitting around Pittsburgh stuffing your fat face. If you believe in that life, there is a reward to doing it. And you want to get as close to it as you can. People who truly believe such things spend their life trying to get as close to it as they possibly can. They don't sit around talking shit updating their facebook pages.
|2.12.12 @ 5:59PM|#
His excuse is that he has to convert the human race before he leaves for the paradise of wilderness, John. How is it that you don't see that?! It's his sacred duty, and he is honor-bound to Mother Gaia and the Holy Tree to complete his mission before he sets out for the ultimate leap -- into mom's backyard shrubbery in a tent (until supper)!
|2.12.12 @ 6:02PM|#
LOL That is what is so funny. Is that there really are people out there who believe the primitive life is the life. They go out and hunt with bolos and shit. There is a whole sub culture of extreme survivalist where you go out and truly live off of the land. If you really believed the shit these people claim to, you would be a part of that culture and out every moment you could preparing to and enjoying that life as much as you can. The fact that they do none of that just shows how pathetic they are.

You're just lying. Really, a bald-faced Kansas liar.
A few people keeping up re-wilding skills does not a Non-State lifeway make.
|2.12.12 @ 6:10PM|#
So because you can't live the exact tribal life you want, you won't even try and instead spend your time stuffing your face with cheese burgers. Got it. You are pathetic. You can do a lot. And if you thought that life was the way to live, you would be doing that because the closer you get to the ideal, the happier you are. Instead, you sit around and talk shit like a 12 year old pretending to be a vampire or a wizard. Get over it. You are pathetic.

Greating Reasoniods, this the new head of Reason's Department of Commentor Control. It has come to my attention that my predessor was excessively lentiant on some of the worse offenders of the Reason Commentor Code of Conduct. In paticular he failed to control the increasingly dangerous posts of one White Indian who has lead a reign of terror against sanity and civil discourse on many comment threads in both the main articles and the Hit and Run blog posts. Therefore I have decided to implement a 24 hour gambol lock down. Any commentor attempting to pointlessly ramble on about the ridiculous theories of one Jason Godskesky, post spam about bilovers, or even take about the benefits of the farting in jars lifestyle will have to bring their business elsewhare. Any attempts to defy this edict will result in inmidiate banning of the offenders IPO from the comment threads of Reason.Com now and forever. I hope you will all learn to accept this edict and know that I do this with great reluctence, and that I have no desire to establish a totalitrain regieme over the comment threads. I hope that you will all realize that I am doing this for your own good and remember that reason is dedicated to the maintenence of free markets and free minds so long as these freedoms are not abused.

Speaking of gamboling and hunting and gathering and such.....
We have had such a mild winter that the ducks delayed their usual migration. All duck season there were hardly any ducks. Now that the season is over there are whords of them. Off and on I have been going out on the back porch cleaning out and refilling the hot tub....all day ducks flying overhead and splashing and quacking down at the bayou. I think the WF guys passed out schedules to the ducks before the season started. I walk down there and the ducks dont even fly away....just laugh at me.
|2.12.12 @ 6:04PM|#
They know. They just know. Don't ask me how but they do.
|2.12.12 @ 6:08PM|#
That is right...they do. I hunted in Bolivia once on the altiplano. There isnt a bush or a rock or anything to hide behind. You can see the ducks a mile away, and they can see you. I learned that trying to be sneaky was a mistake. The ducks knew exactly how far my range was, and two steps from being in range, they would fly.
I figured out that if you ambled around seemingly unconcerned, and didnt look at them, you could get within easy range. In other words, they read body language.
How they knew the range of the gun is a mystery.

What happened to Tiger on Sund|2.12.12 @ 8:50PM|#
The pretenders were as obedient as ever and folded early, just like they always seemed to when Tiger Woods was in his prime.
Still mostly ahead of him was a course he knew well, one where he once rewrote the record books. Beside him was a player he knew well, a guy who used to always look for an excuse to blink.
It was the perfect opportunity to put more than two years of misery behind him. The perfect time to make the statement that, yes, he was finally back.
Unfortunately, there's nothing perfect about Tiger Woods anymore.
He used to threaten to make history every time he teed off. Now he just makes excuses, and they all sound the same.
He says he's at peace with himself, and that may well be true. Put him in a red shirt on Sunday, though, and the demons seem to all come back.
It happened last time out in Dubai, when a mop-haired Englishman who had won only one time in his career stared him down in the final round. It happened again on Sunday at Pebble Beach, where he seemed to be trying so hard not to fail that he gave himself no chance to succeed.
Phil Mickelson blew by him like Woods was playing in the pro-am instead of teeing it up with the big boys. Things got so bad you almost wanted him to move up to the forward tees, where at least his amateur partner Tony Romo was finding some success.
He walked up the 18th fairway to the cheers everyone expected when the day began. But they were for Mickelson, who had walked ahead of him after stiffing a wedge to the final green.
It got worse. Mickelson was already in the hole for his final round 64 when Woods lipped out one final short putt for a big, fat 75. He could have — make that should have — putted out before Mickelson to avoid the final embarrassment, but Woods never really practiced the proper etiquette for finishing out of contention.
For what seems like forever now we've been asking what's wrong with Tiger. Now the question becomes what's wrong with Tiger on Sunday?
The record books will show he lost by nine shots in a tournament he trailed by only two on the final day. Even worse, he was thrashed by Mickelson, his playing partner, by a stunning 11 shots.
Say what you will about his game getting so much better that he has been in contention in his four more recent tournaments. This would have never happened to the Tiger Woods of old.
He didn't always win on Sundays, even if it seemed that way. But he was never blown out the way Mickelson disposed of him on a course where he was once untouchable.
"Anything I tried to do wasn't working," Woods said. "What was frustrating was I had a chance, all I had to do was get off to a good, solid start today and I didn't do that."
Actually, the start wasn't all that bad. It was the middle, where Woods missed two short putts in a row and made three bogeys in a row that destroyed what little chance he had left. By then his body language had conceded defeat, even if he hadn't.
To put his round in perspective, only four of the 68 players who teed off on the final day shot worse. On a day Pebble Beach was there for the taking, Woods got taken.
And then the excuses began.
"I didn't hit it as bad as the score indicated, but I putted awful," he said. "I just could not see my lines. I couldn't get comfortable."
For those keeping score at home, he hasn't won a real tournament (I don't count the 16-man invitational he hosts and won in December, though Woods does) in 27 months; hasn't won on the PGA Tour in 29 months. It's been nearly four years since he won his last major at Torrey Pines, and he's now 36 with a history of knee issues.
That doesn't mean he's not going to win again. He surely will, because he's still immensely talented. But those wins will come sporadically instead of in bunches, the way they used to.
The majors will be more problematic. Woods might still win a Masters or two, if only because he knows where to play every shot, every putt, at Augusta National. He might pick up a stray British Open or maybe a PGA Championship, assuming that he can get himself to believe once again that he becomes invincible when he puts on his Sunday red.
The majors are how Woods keeps score, and right now Jack Nicklaus is still ahead 18-14. It was almost a foregone conclusion after the U.S. Open in 2008 that he would catch Nicklaus, but my guess now is he never will.
His personal issues and constant swing tinkering threw him a curve ball that will be tough to recover from. But it's more his putting now, with his nerves betraying him on short putts that were always gimmes in his prime. That happens to golfers as they age, and it's happening to even the great Tiger Woods.
The golf season is well underway, with Los Angeles next week the last tournament on the West Coast swing. The Masters awaits less than two months from now, and it's entirely conceivable his winless streak will be even longer by then.
Tiger Woods in red on Sunday used to mean something.
Now he's become just another player, wearing another color.

Power (physics)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For other types of power, see Power (disambiguation).
In physics, power is the rate at which energy is transferred, used, or transformed. For example, the rate at which a light bulb transforms electrical energy into heat and light is measured in watts—the more wattage, the more power, or equivalently the more electrical energy is used per unit time.[1][2]
Energy transfer can be used to do work, so power is also the rate at which this work is performed. The output power of an electric motor is the product of the torque the motor generates and the angular velocity of its output shaft. The power expended to move a vehicle is the product of the traction force of the wheels and the velocity of the vehicle.
The integral of power over time defines the work done. Because this integral depends on the trajectory of the point of application of the force and torque, this calculation of work is said to be "path dependent."

[edit] UnitsThe dimension of power is energy divided by time . The SI unit of power is the watt (W), which is equal to one joule per second. Other units of power include ergs per second (erg/s), horsepower (hp), metric horsepower (Pferdestärke (PS) or cheval vapeur, CV), and foot-pounds per minute. One horsepower is equivalent to 33,000 foot-pounds per minute, or the power required to lift 550 pounds by one foot in one second, and is equivalent to about 746 watts. Other units include dBm, a relative logarithmic measure with 1 milliwatt as reference; (food) calories per hour (often referred to as kilocalories per hour); Btu per hour (Btu/h); and tons of refrigeration (12,000 Btu/h).
[edit] Average powerAs a simple example, burning a kilogram of coal releases much more energy than does detonating a kilogram of TNT,[3] but because the TNT reaction releases energy much more quickly, it delivers far more power than the coal. If ΔW is the amount of work performed during a period of time of duration Δt, the average power Pavg over that period is given by the formula
It is the average amount of work done or energy converted per unit of time. The average power is often simply called "power" when the context makes it clear.
The instantaneous power is then the limiting value of the average power as the time interval Δt approaches zero.
In the case of constant power P, the amount of work performed during a period of duration T is given by:
In the context of energy conversion it is more customary to use the symbol E rather than W.
[edit] Mechanical powerPower in mechanical systems is the combination of forces and movement. In particular, power is the product of a force on an object and the object's velocity, or the product of a torque on a shaft and the shaft's angular velocity.
Mechanical power is also described as the time derivative of work. In mechanics, the work done by a force F on an object that travels along a curve C is given by the line integral:
where x defines the path C and v is the velocity along this path. The time derivative of the equation for work yields the instantaneous power,
In rotational systems, power is the product of the torque τ and angular velocity ω,
where ω measured in radians per second.
In fluid power systems such as hydraulic actuators, power is given by
where p is pressure in pascals, or N/m2 and Q is volumetric flow rate in m3/s in SI units.
[edit] Mechanical advantageIf a mechanical system has no losses then the fact that the input power must equal the output power provides a simple formula for the mechanical advantage of the system.
Let the input power to a device be a force FA acting on a point that moves with velocity vA and the output power be a force FB acts on a point that moves with velocity vB. If there are no losses in the system, then
and the mechanical advantage of the system is given by
A similar relationship is obtained for rotating systems, where TA and ωA are the torque and angular velocity of the input and TB and ωB are the torque and angular velocity of the output. If there are no losses in the system, then
which yields the mechanical advantage
[edit] Electrical powerMain article: Electric power
The instantaneous electrical power P delivered to a component is given by
where
P(t) is the instantaneous power, measured in watts (joules per second)
V(t) is the potential difference (or voltage drop) across the component, measured in volts
I(t) is the current through it, measured in amperes
If the component is a resistor with time-invariant voltage to current ratio, then:
where
is the resistance, measured in ohms.
[edit] Peak power and duty cycle
In a train of identical pulses, the instantaneous power is a periodic function of time. The ratio of the pulse duration to the period is equal to the ratio of the average power to the peak power. It is also called the duty cycle (see text for definitions).In the case of a periodic signal s(t) of period T, like a train of identical pulses, the instantaneous power p(t) = | s(t) | 2 is also a periodic function of period T. The peak power is simply defined by:
P0 = max[p(t)].
The peak power is not always readily measurable, however, and the measurement of the average power Pavg is more commonly performed by an instrument. If one defines the energy per pulse as:
then the average power is:
.
One may define the pulse length τ such that so that the ratios
are equal. These ratios are called the duty cycle of the pulse train.
[edit] Power in opticsMain article: Optical power
In optics, or radiometry, the term power sometimes refers to radiant flux, the average rate of energy transport by electromagnetic radiation, measured in watts. The term "power" is also, however, used to express the ability of a lens or other optical device to focus light. It is measured in dioptres (inverse metres), and equals the inverse of the focal length of the optical device.

Whitney Houston was an addict, and the so-called "drug wars" had nothing to do with her becoming an addict, nor did they present an obstacle to her getting help. No one who checks into a rehab clinic, gets put in jail.
Yes, there is a stigma to abusing drugs or alcohol, and that stigma should remain, as drug and alcohol abuse destroy lives. People who want help, especially multi=millionaires with access to high-end discreet rehab clinics, can get help if they want it.
Ultimately, recovery starts with the individual, not with anyone else.
As for drugs, I do not have a problem with them being legalized for adults (still with driving and other activities under the influence kept illegal), but I do not anticipate that will encourage anyone to get treatment who has not already got it before.
People get help when they are ready to get help. Period.
|2.13.12 @ 1:27AM|#
I don't understand the question posed by the article either. Why would the drug war deter Whitney Houston from seeking help? Celebrities engage in questionable activities all the time.
If drugs were legal and I was married to a female equivalent of Bobby Brown..... yeah, I would be an addict.

Iraq's capital is embracing Valentine's Day this year with a huge public display of affection in what its residents say is the nation's most amorous celebration of the holiday ever.
Street corners across Baghdad are blanketed with the synthetic red fur of teddy bears, while silken nighties and lip-shaped satin pillows hang in store fronts.
It's a vivid counterpoint to a place that's still a far cry from warm and fuzzy — with bombings remaining a fact of life since the withdrawal of U.S. forces two months ago.
"Valentine's Day is for everybody — not only for lovers," said Lina, a school administrator who would only identify herself by her first name. She was among the throngs browsing through an array of plush kittens, scented candles, red lamps and heart-shaped purses outside a store this weekend in the Baghdad downtown shopping district of Karradah.
"It's for you and I, for me and my brother, even for someone on the street. It's not just about me and my fiance," Lina said. "Iraqis need happy moments to make them forget what they have been through — we have had enough sadness."
After decades of war and dictator rule, and with improving security, Iraqis say they are able to relax and enjoy Valentine's this year. Others believe the recent burst of text messages, mobile phones and use of the Internet among Iraqi youth has helped foster romance like never before.
But Valentine's Day may come with its own baggage.
Conservative Muslims, from Indonesia to Saudi Arabia, have strongly frowned on the holiday's growing popularity around the world as an encouragement of perceived Western decadence and premarital sex.
Last year, Iran banned cards, gifts and other tokens of the day, which tradition says is named after one of several early Christian martyrs. Saudi Arabia's feared religious police launched patrols each year to stamp out any stores displaying too much red or selling heart-shaped products this time of year.
So far, however, Iraq appears to be drifting the way of other Middle East centers such as Dubai or Beirut that stock shelves high with chocolates, flowers and other trappings of the day.
Some Iraqis are using the day to proclaim that love conquers all — including studying.
At the Technology Institute in Baghdad's southeastern Zafaraniyah area, students will hold a months-delayed meet-and-greet for university freshmen on Tuesday. Usually the gathering is held in December when the semester began, but 21-year-old Muataz Mohammed said scheduling it for Valentine's Day might more easily stoke friendships.
"It is a very special day," said Mohammed, who plans to wear a red shirt and carry red roses to the party. Women students are planning to wear red shirts and headscarves.
From his Karradah storefront, Abdul-Wahab Abdul-Rahaman has watched toddler-sized red teddy bears and plush hearts in high demand this year. He speculates it's because young lovers now meet and talk more frequently with the help of their mobile phones.
Mobile phones, satellite TV and the Internet were virtually banned during Saddam's regime, and the war and rampant violence after his ouster discouraged tech companies from marketing Iraq until the last few years.
"The new communication means help making relationships between the sexes faster than before," Abdul-Wahab said. "I think I will sell all my Valentine's Day products as the occasion is becoming more popular among Iraqis year after year."
Iraq remains a relatively conservative society, and only recently have many unmarried couples dared to be without a chaperone in public.
Picking out gifts for each other in Karradah, Simaa Riyadh, 27, said she believes more lovers are open with their affections. Her fiance, Ammar Riyadh, said he feels security is good enough now to show a little tenderness.
"It's a wonderful day," Riyadh said, smiling.

for sloopy et al,. here's one of the athletes i had the privilege to train with, and who is infinitely more accomplished than me.
she is the strongest woman lb for lb EVER in the US, and imo one of the most inspirational female athletes, going to the olympics years after her theoretical prime (see: injuries) and as a business owner, wife of a state legislator, and a mother of 3
THIS is a major achiever
when you train with people like this, you learn to be as humble as i am :)
