See that?s the difference in our thinking. If you you falter and find yourself in crisis or at risk you may have to conform to a well defined or preset path that is defined by someone else in an attempt to get you back on a safe course.
Back to this again? Thanks for the high praise, btw. One of the things I've read since last we tussled was Steal This Urin Test. You should read it. See, in it--Hoffman's last publication just prior to his dubiously alleged suicide--he pulls nearly a 180 on the point of letting someone else direct our path out of the various kinds of trouble he most concerned himself with. He went from a Summer of `70 view of libralism almost full circle back to a more Jeffersonian view.
In other words, don't let some do-gooder inside the Beltway dictate to us how best to behave and be decent human beings. Think for ourselves instead, take care of our neighbors and friends ourselves.
That's what really ended the crack "epidemic" (fad, really, if ya want a more accurate term) People looked around, saw what was happening and decided they didn't want to be like the crack head down the street.
