I sent them an e-mail with a link to Wes's site. Maybe they will change their reference. Although...did you check out the "Reality Tour" link?

A peer pressure skit, I have to admit my stomach did a little dive on that one.
Why are they still advertising under Straight inc. ?? Gave me the heebie-jeebies
There it all was sign your name here parents so we can scare the fuck out of your kids courtesy of Straight inc. Like what? A free man must be able to endure it when his fellow men act and live otherwise than he considers proper. He must free himself from the habit, just as soon as something does not please him, of calling for the police.

Not only does the email still work, but notice the address
Drugfree@thebank.com
All the way to the bank they went at our expense! That is so ironic, or was it all a part of the plan?
And,the opening is so weird......Is My Child Using Heroin? Exactly what connection do they think of when they connect heroin usage with stems and seeds? I Never met a junkie who thought far enough ahead, or spent much needed habit money, to use visine, In all my days as a needlehead, I never used visine. Perhaps some did, but I never met them.
Another thing I think is interesting is in the "reality tour" section, where it indicates that parental guidance is suggested because the tour may "cause physical or emotional damage". Does that mean that they are going to show actual restraints used by 5-10 group members?
-
I e-mailed them too. It will be interesting to see if they respond.
Did any of you notice that there is no section on the website that tells you who the board of directors entails?
And Kaydee - am I to understand that the White House has material on Straight Inc. that one can go look at? Where did you get that info. you posted?
-
Honestly, I dont think are literally advertising themselves as "Straight, Inc." or even affiliated with it.
I think someone had an old brochure laying around somewhere and decided it fit nicely with their Heroin Hell organization mission statement and just posted it as information with he appropriate referral of its source.
Doesnt mean I think the whole idea of the site isnt totally FREAKY. But, I would be willing to bet they are ignorant of what their reference entails. Thats why I sent them Wes's site. I would imagine these people would probably be The Program's wet dreams, however.

Oh yeah. Kooks like those guys will probably want to build a statue of Sembler. It amazes me that people swallow bullshit hysteria like their "warning signs", but they do.
-
I knew it! Posters of rock bands cause heroin addiction!
-
LOL.....yeah, and basically, if you act anything short of how those kids in "Disturbing Behavior" acted...then you are shoe-in for heroin addiction. :scared:
I like the incredible disparity between some of the examples, i.e. increased hunger and trouble with the law. I mean, if your kid is getting arrested...thats an issue...if your kid is eating alot, well, he is probably no where near any Heroin or needles. He is most certainly a big fat pot-head instead. You would think they would specify, or have some sort of disclaimer. Jeez!
-
Unusually large appetite??? Are they serious?? I don't know a teen that doesn't[/b] have an unusually large appetite.
Family arguments...there's another given if you have a teen....DUH
Sullen, uncaring attitude......that describes MOST teens at some point.
Short attention span and forgetfullness??...guess I'm in trouble tooFresh beauty opens one's eyes wherever it is really seen, but the very abundance and completeness of the common beauty that besets our steps prevents its being absorbed and appreciated. It is a good thing, therefore, to make short excursions now and then to the bottom of the sea among dulse and coral, or up among the clouds on mountain-tops, or in balloons, or even to creep like worms into dark holes and caverns underground, not only to learn something of what is going on in those out-of-the-way places, but to see better what the sun sees on our return to common everyday beauty.

Thanks for the info Kaydee...I'd tell you what I thought of the thread but it's 2:50 and I can't miss my next pill...Just kidding. What a crock.
