I hear you about Abigail, and Bria...Thanks Cass...<br /><br />I hear you about Abigail, and Brianna... what I have a tough time with is how law enforcement and the media makes it into a drama.<br /><br />I have a hard time with people who think Connie McCallister is a criminal who now that she was found safe, think she should be arrested and thrown in prison for 1) being manipulated and 2) because of whereabouts unknown, no attempt to contact her family, she is therefore a criminal who forced her family to suffer all these years.<br /><br />RE: "The vampire" story... I like that website too... what I find sobering is how the story is so mired in right-wing 70's cause and effect. The blame on "drugs" and especially marijuana is disturbing as the real culprit was our metal health system and our own system of understanding individuals with mental health problems. My opinion is this "vampire" was identified early in life by professionals and nothing was done. Any drug use is secondary to the problem and mention of it but a diversion from the truth.<br /><br />As Arlo Guthrie sang... in Alice's Restaurant, "kill, kill, kill... " Isn't that what the Vietnam War was all about? And that is the world all the Baby Boomers were raised in... that and the "FACT" that marijuana was the "Destroyer of Youth", and all humankind. It is ludicrous to believe now that marijuana was a contributing factor to the story "The Makings of a Vampire". <br /><br />But then, ironically, just as cannabis opened docile, ambitious doors for peace to me, it is possible it opened demonic doors for others. So it's just(?) today that in most of the world cannabis remains illegal with a blight surrounding it? <br /><br />It's hypocrisy at it's worst... given the death-toll from alcohol, tobacco, civil wars, domestic violence and death, mental health issues, mass murders - most perpetrators not using any of the above mentioned drugs... <br /><br />I've been aware for a long time it's time to move past the 2ND Dark Age... one brought about as a result of the industrial revolution. One that has seen mediocre progress in workers rights, human freedom. <br /><br />I hate to say it but Harold Camping found his "End of the World" just as the rest of us will. My whole life, literally it's been a doomsday prophecy... I grew up under the fears of the Cold War, nuclear bombs... the Vietnam War and a bureaucracy that put principles ahead of humanity. <br /><br />I would ask that everyone out there reflect on your humanity? Are you making criminals out of people who smoke a plant? Are you holding hostages or slaves? Have you murdered someone and if not a psychopath (in which case none of this means anything to you - so have a drink) is owning up to it really worse than living with the knowledge???<br /><br />My "crime" to humanity (my mother really) is that I took this "Big Brain" of mine and at age 20 became a college custodian. I had sex with more than one woman. I used marijuana. I decided to become a writer. I let go of material baggage. I realized family was for 18 years and after that luckily one would be friends with family. I realized I'm pretty naive. <br /><br />I hope Abigail will find home soon too... if she has free will, I hope she realizes there are alternatives... she doesn't have to stay where she is, nor does she have to go where she doesn't want to be... <br /><br />Hopes 2014 will be a vast improvement in human rights!BobKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11591749929142963330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479833358229068060.post-64006832075569594362013-12-31T06:55:43.667-05:002013-12-31T06:55:43.667-05:00Good post.

I like that web site though.SJ Holmwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272449718962912556noreply@blogger.com
