Heroin Chronicles
Just about every junky I met, who ever read a book, thought he had a book in him. Trouble is, after a while they all read the same. And once people fall into the counseling game, they tend to become a bit obnoxious with their newfound 12-step beliefs...until they 'go back out' themselves. Heroin takes all your troubles and trades them in on the daily need to fix. The US, as usual, is always the last western country to figure out the war is over and we lost. Everybody hates junkies until it's their little kid calling them from a jail cell. Unfortunately, by declaring heroin addiction 'a disease' we've just added to the confusion. The Harrison Act was part of what the left loves so much, which is that we're all sick, and government can fix us. It's nobody's business what I put in my own body. I don't want to be criminalized or medicalized: I want to be left alone.— March 21, 2012 11:32 a.m.
Journalists Active in Tijuana Despite Threats
We take journalists--and a free press itself--for granted here in the USA. In Mexico it's hanging by a thread: the few brave souls who still believe it's important to let people know what is happening. Without free press nothing else in a democracy works like it's supposed to, and when the press is killed off or frightened into silence, then corruption and lawlessness reign. The mexican periodistas are the true heroes in that country.— March 19, 2012 2:43 p.m.
