How To Be A Rotten Parent | ||||||||||||||||||
A satire excerpted from an article originally written 4/98 | ||||||||||||||||||
It seems to me that a fairly high percentage, albeit not all, parents
around the country have set a goal of being exceptionally good at being
bad parents. Since I'm a big believer in setting goals and figuring out
ways of accomplishing them, I thought a primer on being a rotten parent
could help these folks to achieve their objective. | ||||||||||||||||||
Lesson one will focus on the issue of drugs. Since our trusted leaders
in Washington inform us that drugs are the single most dangerous factor
being faced by our kids today, let's make being completely incompetent
in parental responsibilities regarding drugs our first goal. Below are
some worthy and worthwhile endeavors for your consideration should you
too aspire to become a rotten parent. | ||||||||||||||||||
Support Current Drug Policies Without Question. | ||||||||||||||||||
Having given it a lot of thought, it occurs to me that perhaps the best
thing one can do to qualify as a rotten parent is to do nothing
whatsoever regarding drug policy. This, nearly in and of itself,
qualifies anyone as a bad parent and could easily qualify a wide range
of individuals as "bad parents in training." | ||||||||||||||||||
Our existing drug laws, the policy put forth by our leaders in
Washington, and that espoused by both sides of the political isle make
the job of those who aspire to dismal parenting relatively easy.
Current drug policy, prohibition, and the inevitable black market that
results from these policies, virtually assure that a wide variety of
drugs will be easily attainable by any curious youngster and few would
argue that we are well on our way as any sixth grader with a ten dollar
bill can easily obtain any drug of choice virtually at will anywhere in
the country. | ||||||||||||||||||
According to the Monitoring the Future Studies by the Health and Human
Services Department 85% of high school seniors said they find illegal
drugs "fairly easy" or "very easy" to obtain. It looks like doing
nothing may be one of the best ways of attaining rotten parent status
imaginable. Our reliable and trustworthy leaders in Washington seem to
be doing our job for us exceptionally well. It seems that being a
miserable parent isn't as tough as we may have feared. | ||||||||||||||||||
This terrific news is compounded by the fact that our nation spends
more than $50 billion a year on its ineffective drug policies thus
assuring that we don't waste those dollars on things like improved
education, child care, or health care. We can consider this to be a
rotten parent "double whammy." Mountains of wasted money, a compromised
educational system, and easy access to drugs among youth, what else
could an aspiring lousy parent ask for? | ||||||||||||||||||
Support Organization Like Partnership for a Drug Free America and DARE. | ||||||||||||||||||
There are scores of organizations who profess to be saving our children
from the scourge of drug use. PFDA is the biggest and best. It puts out
"brain fried-egg" commercials which are uniformly laughed at and
ridiculed by most adolescents. Not long ago it also aired a commercial
nationwide that showed a flat-line brain scan. This was purported to be
that of a drug user. Today there are few adolescents that are not aware
of the fact that the brain scan machine was hooked up to absolutely
nothing. A round of applause for PFDA please. Another step towards
distrust of authority has been accomplished thus relieving parents of
the responsibility. | ||||||||||||||||||
PFDA also helps us to erode the confidence of our youth by announcing the fact that it got it's start with contributions from the alcohol industry. Even better, according to their Internet web page, the organization still takes large contributions from pharmaceutical companies. What better way to convince our youth of our dishonesty than a good dose of hypocrisy? Only take those good drugs kiddies. Don't ever touch those bad ones that we didn't make any profit on. | ||||||||||||||||||
The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) is also outstanding at
spreading inaccuracy, fabrication, and illogical concepts that have
recently been proven to actually increase the incidence of youthful
drug use among those suburban teens that were subjected to the DARE
classes. Bravo. | ||||||||||||||||||
Never Ever Have an Open Honest Discussion With Your Children About Drugs. | ||||||||||||||||||
Conducting a regular, no reprisals, open and honest discussion with
your kids about what they think about both legal and illegal drugs,
their intentions towards use, and the ease of acquisition should not
even be considered. It is much better to rely on the government to
continue supplying faulty and inaccurate information. In this way we
can be sure that our youngsters are lied to regularly and with luck
they will eventually discover the facts and come to the conclusion that
all warnings about the dangers of drug use were erroneous. This may
even lead to experimentation with some of the harder drugs and possibly
even the ultimate objectives of addiction or (dare we even hope for
such lofty ideals?) dead children. | ||||||||||||||||||
Fear not parents of America. Many of you are doing just fine. Our nation is the absolute best at drug use among adolescents so the good news is that what you are doing is working beyond the wildest dreams of drug dealers and cartels worldwide. Keep it up. You should be proud. | ||||||||||||||||||

WEEKLY NEWS IN REVIEW (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||
Drug War Policy- | ||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||
The cautiously approving editorial in the Seattle Times was one of the few attempts by influential US Dailies to deal the previous week's derogatory report from AI on American police and incarceration practices. Another approving response was the op-ed in the San Jose Mercury-News- like the Times, an important second-rank newspaper. | ||||||||||||||||||
In a move sure to cause gnashing of teeth in both Congress and the
DEA, Switzerland voted to expand its heroin maintenance program. The
news didn't hit English-language wire services, but we received a
translation from a European NewsHawk. | ||||||||||||||||||
The op-ed from the Chicago Tribune underscores the media role in
shaping perceptions of substance use/abuse problems and also suggests
that "crack-downs" are less important in shaping behavior than
accurate information. | ||||||||||||||||||
Those concepts are clearly foreign to those breathlessly reporting the latest "epidemics" sweeping the country: methamphetamine and inhalants | ||||||||||||||||||
U.S. FORCED TO CONFRONT HUMAN-RIGHTS ABUSES | ||||||||||||||||||
THE United States of America loves its image as the land of the free and home of the brave. For the most part, it earns that image. Behind the golden door lies due process, free speech and the countless provisions for individual freedom so easily taken for granted. | ||||||||||||||||||
Far beneath the surface, however, is a seamy undercurrent of abuse and neglect of the country's weakest and least powerful. This undercurrent has prompted Amnesty International's first-ever comprehensive probe of human rights in the United States. It is a strangely necessary campaign. | ||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||
HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES SHAME OUR COUNTRY | ||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||
Amnesty International also condemns the United States for indefinitely
jailing most people who seek asylum here, for its use of the death
penalty and for exporting arms and security equipment to governments
with a history of human rights abuse. | ||||||||||||||||||
The list of offenses doesn't rise to the level of Serbia's ethnic
cleansing, the horrific tribal massacres in Rwanda, or Myanmar's brutal
suppression of its democracy movement. But it still paints a disturbing
picture of human rights abuses in this country - one that far too many
Americans fail to recognize. | ||||||||||||||||||

SWITZERLAND CONTINUES TO HAND OUT HEROIN TO ADDICTS | ||||||||||||||||||
BERN. Switzerland's legal prescription programme involving handing out
heroin to addicts is being made permanent this weekend. This Thursday
the upper chamber in Bern voted yes to the proposal, 30 for and 4
against. | ||||||||||||||||||

MEDIA BINGE DISTORTS CAMPUS DRINKING | ||||||||||||||||||
The media missed the big story on college campuses across the country
last month. | ||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||
In fact, it would have been equally accurate for the media to have
reported: "College student binge drinking hits record low," or "College
student use of alcohol hits all-time low." | ||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||
At Northern Illinois University we made a choice 10 years ago to
abandon scare tactics and hardnosed bans. Instead, we developed a mass
media campaign to let our students know that, of their peers who choose
to drink, most do so responsibly. We have highlighted the fact that
drinking in moderation (if at all) is the norm, and that those who
engage in binge drinking are actually in the minority. How well has it
worked? Over the last 10 years, while binge drinking nationwide has
declined 12 percent, at Northern Illinois University we have seen a
decline of 44 percent. | ||||||||||||||||||

KIDS' INHALANT ABUSE DOING SERIOUS DAMAGE | ||||||||||||||||||
The war on drugs has a new target.While cops and parents worry about marijuana,crack and heroin growing numbers of young kids are doing serious damage to their bodies and even dying from using inhalants,many of which are commonly found around the house and at school. | ||||||||||||||||||

Law Enforcement | ||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||
The amazing admission in the LAT article underscores how important "policy" is In determining what happens; certainly inmates fight all over the country, yet only in (Lungren's) California prison system is it necessary to kill them in order to save them from themselves. | ||||||||||||||||||
Speaking of Lungren, the next article describing trouble in another of
his departments would suggest that Dan is not the world's most
talented administrator. | ||||||||||||||||||
For those concerned that funds seized by police from suspected "drug
criminals," may be unduly tempting to police won't be reassured by the
next pair of articles from the Cincinnati Enquirer. | ||||||||||||||||||
For those wondering if our justice system embodies either fairness or
common sense, the Texas story of a man who has been drug and crime
free since walking out on an obscene life sentence 28 years ago might
provide some answers. Don't hold your breath. | ||||||||||||||||||
ONLY CALIFORNIA USES DEADLY FORCE IN INMATE FIGHTS | ||||||||||||||||||
Since 1994, state prison guards breaking up brawls have killed 12 and
seriously injured 32. In rest of nation, only six inmates were fatally
shot, all while trying to escape. Despite efforts to cut down on prison
shootings, guards in California continue to kill and wound inmates
engaged in fist fights and melees, a practice unheard of in every other
state. | ||||||||||||||||||

TROUBLE SEIZES STATE DRUG BUREAU-PART 1 | ||||||||||||||||||
Law Enforcement: Low pay, lawsuits and managerial tactics contribute to
low moral and unfilled positions at the agency. | ||||||||||||||||||
California's drug enforcement agency has been hit by costly sexual
harassment lawsuits, reduced its hiring standards and faced accusations
of mismanagement during the seven-year administration of Attorney
General Dan Lungren. | ||||||||||||||||||
The Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement also has sought criminal charges
against workers who complain about their supervisors, a Register review
shows. | ||||||||||||||||||

DRUG SEIZURE LAWS RIPE FOR ABUSE | ||||||||||||||||||
Police tactics bring cries for reform On New Year's Eve, Adam Townley
sold marijuana to an undercover police officer. He would end up paying
for it with his car. | ||||||||||||||||||
Eager to gain ownership of Mr. Townley's two-door 1990 Nissan - taken
during his arrest - Fairfax police agreed to a deal in which two counts
of drug trafficking against the 20-year-old from Union Township in
Clermont County were reduced to a lesser charge. | ||||||||||||||||||
Mr. Townley got his freedom. The police got the Nissan. | ||||||||||||||||||

"There is really no entity that monitors that spending beyond the press
and local governments," said Mr. Almay of the state investigations
bureau, a branch of the attorney general's office. | ||||||||||||||||||

Marijuana | ||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||
The big news was Judge Breyer's denial, for ridiculous reasons, of the
jury trial that Lawyers for the Oakland Buyers' Cooperative had been
counting on. Breyer relied on authoritarian legalistic nonsense to
frustrate the will of the voters who'd passed Proposition 215 to
protect patients against having to buy on the criminal market. This LA
Times article provides the best overview of the dismal Post-215
situation in California. | ||||||||||||||||||
The next article from the Las Vegas Sun suggests that the organizers
of the medical marijuana initiative would be happy with a stealth
campaign, however that's not the intention of the drug czar who used
his clout to commandeer some free space in another Las Vegas paper,
the Review-Journal. Among the venues voting on medical marijuana,
Washington, DC is the smallest, but the most visible, at least to
Congress. This Washington Post article accurately describes the wide
spectrum of understanding and conviction to be found among District
voters. | ||||||||||||||||||
Meanwhile, in Colorado the farce continues; the Secretary of State, to
no one's surprise declared that 41% of the eighty thousand collected
signatures were invalid, so the measure didn't qualify, despite the
fact that it will be on the ballot. This latest opinion is certain to
be challenged, so we haven't heard the last. | ||||||||||||||||||
CLOSURE OF CANNABIS CLUB ORDERED | ||||||||||||||||||
Judge tells U.S. marshals to shut down Oakland cooperative, the largest
remaining in the state. Medical marijuana supporters say they will
appeal. SAN FRANCISCO-A federal judge has authorized U.S. marshals to
close the state's largest still-functioning cannabis club Friday
evening. Club operators said they will appeal the ruling. U.S. District
Judge Charles Breyer rejected the Oakland Cannabis Buyers Cooperative's
argument that for some people, marijuana is an irreplaceable drug that
relieves their pain and even saves their lives. | ||||||||||||||||||

LEGALIZING POT FOR MEDICAL USE A LARGELY OVERLOOKED BALLOT INITIATIVE | ||||||||||||||||||
With Nevadans focused on high-profile races for governor and Congress a
statewide ballot initiative to legalize marijuana for medicinal
purposes isn't generating much smoke. | ||||||||||||||||||
The initiative, which will appear as Question 9 on the Nov. 3 general election ballot, is actually drawing more attention from outside the state. Nevadans for Medical Rights, author of the initiative, has received all its financial support from a like-minded California organization. The most vocal opponents have been a group of senators, none from Nevada, who called a press conference against the initiative in Washington, D.C. | ||||||||||||||||||
That Nevadans aren't talking much about this issue doesn't bother Dan Hart. As Las Vegas spokesman for the initiative's sponsor, Hart is content with internal polls that are "very encouraging." | ||||||||||||||||||

SEEING THROUGH THE HAZE OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA | ||||||||||||||||||
Proven scientific processes, not the ballot box, should determine what
drugs can be used to treat our ills On Election Day, residents of
Nevada will be asked to vote on marijuana. The state ballot features a
referendum that would legalize cultivation, distribution, possession
and consumption of marijuana ostensibly for medical purposes. We should
all seek safe and effective medicine to treat medical ills, but our
collective interest is better served when proven scientific processes
minister to disease - not the ballot box. | ||||||||||||||||||

Initiative 59 Would Allow Use for Medical Purposes | ||||||||||||||||||

Although the initiative has drawn opposition in Congress, it appears to have substantial support within the city, which is heavily Democratic. | ||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||
There is local opposition to the measure in neighborhoods where drugs
and violence are major concerns. Council member Sharon Ambrose (D-Ward
6) has said she cannot support the initiative because many people in
her ward, which runs from Capitol Hill to Anacostia, believe any
attempt to legalize marijuana will exacerbate the problem of open-air
drug markets. | ||||||||||||||||||

POT-INITIATIVE SIGNATURES RULED INSUFFICIENT | ||||||||||||||||||
Oct. 17 - Secretary of State Vikki Buckley ruled Friday that there are insufficient signatures for a Nov. 3 ballot measure that would allow people with debilitating medical conditions to use marijuana. Proponents vowed to explore all legal avenues to keep the issue alive, but for now votes cast for Amendment 19 next month will not count. | ||||||||||||||||||

International News | ||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||
ONDCP's fatuous claim of significant progress in the drug war based on
an alleged reduction in the number of American "users" of a particular
agent, should be interpreted with the following in mind: 1) all
criminal drug markets are creatures of American policy; 2) those
market are producing record amounts of heroin and cocaine; 3) all
agents are now reaching consumers in record amounts and record purity;
4) every major "producer" and "transit" nation in the international
drug market is in the grip of either a repressive government,
political chaos, or frank revolution. | ||||||||||||||||||
Viewed through an international prism, both the drug war's abject
failure as policy and the terrible collateral damage of that failure
are inescapable. | ||||||||||||||||||

TALIBAN'S CONTROL OVER AFGHANISTAN BOOSTS OPIUM TRADE | ||||||||||||||||||
Poppy cultivation and opium and heroin production have skyrocketed in
Afghanistan since the radical Muslim Taliban movement extended its
control across most of the country, according to U.S. anti-drug experts
and international relief organizations. | ||||||||||||||||||
U.S. and international drug experts estimate Afghanistan is the second-largest opium producer in the world and is responsible for the production of more than one-third of the world's opium and heroin, which is refined from opium. The Taliban control 96 percent of Afghanistan's poppy-growing regions, the sources said, and reaps profits by taxing poppy growers and those who refine poppies into opium. | ||||||||||||||||||
