Excerpt from "Duck in a Raincoat"

"In 1971 Joe appeared on WGAN-TV in Portland and described the new therapeutic community he was running with Sherry as "a private drug treatment center that incorporated physical, intellectual, and therapeutic components to instill self-esteem, self-reliance, and a capacity to love in the individual." Previously he had described his work at Daytop, and DARTEC in similar fashion, but in building up Elan, he criticized those communities for being violent, and damaging."

This, BTW, is just about exactly how Art Barker hawked The Seed (like Synanon, only kinder, gentler) and how the Semblers, Loenberg(sp?) and their cohorts marketed Straight, Inc., the kinder, gentler Seed. And so it goes with SAFE, KHK, AARC, CEDU -> Brown, and so on and so on till people wake up to the fact that this dog don't hunt nothing but it's own tail.

Give to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself - that is my doctrine.

just remind me to stay the hell out of Florida Texas ect. because I couldn't keep my mouth shut in Straight and I am even louder and more opinionated now.

WWASP named after something that stings you (bad)
PURE just weird and finatical

who really needs treatment here

they are FREAKS finatic
                retarded
                narssacistic
                totalitarian
                ignorant
                cloned
                sociopaths

shit half the kids probably want to do drugs just to make sure they don't end up like them

PURE vs WWASP
 ::armed:: let them go at each other problem solved jeez freaky finatics

lock em in a room with me for 13months I will give the the reverse Straight treatment. Hehehehe problem there is I have a soul, I would just blast them with "rock and roll" and make them all smoke doobies.      
If we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion by education

just wondering... I wonder if PURE is referring parents to Hyde.
After all Hyde isn't  Quite as bad as WWASP
or Straight or Elan......

Good to hear from you. I hope you're well.

I wonder if they refer to Hyde too. I heard Hyde uses Red Rock Canyon wilderness program as a stick to keep the kids inline. Don't know if that's still true or not.

But we can't seem to get any answers at all out of PURE. They got pretty bent out of shape when I posted the results of a "free info" inquery. (which was essentially just a stroke and directive to call the same number as was on the public web page)

I've repeatedly asked these folks to list some of the schools they refer to, to comment on the use of escort (kidnapping) services and to explain the difference between PURE and WWASP. All they want to do, though, is demonize critics.

Maybe you can get somewhere with them.



Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its
best state is but a necessary evil ---in its worst state an
intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same
miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without
government, our calamities is heightened by reflecting that we
furnish the means by which we suffer!
