WInston Churchill on "Sobriety"

It's survivable I'm glad your friend is ok. Now I've got a couple of trained, credentialed and, btw, deputised altruists trying to help my daughter to better living through coercion. God help her if they succeed.  -If there's a worse idea going than locking kids up for victimless crimes, it's probably locking them in close proximity to some tyrannical altruist bent on helping them even if it kills them.

duped parents As some of you know, this has been an ongoing issue.  The hardest part of the Straight experience was knowing it was at the hands of my own parents.  I have expressed before I would take better precautions with my cat, much less a human being.. yet Straight was a dumping ground for parents that wanted someone to "fix" their children.  How do we get past it?  I don't know.  I never really did get a true apology.  Just a "we did not know it was that bad, or the chrch reccommended it, the school counseler referred us" etc, etc.  How could you not see the horrors?  I had physical marks.... I begged to be taken out.  And even though i have forgiven there are days it is so hard to forget.

Re: duped parents Remember the friday night open meetings with the parents standing up and talking with their kid. Love ya, and start crying and all that crap. Love ya, love ya, i feel like pukin. We stand firm behind the program. Yea right, if you told them the attrocities you would be started over, as a newcomer an oldcomer would be there at all times to listen to the fuckin conversation. The parents had raps that told them to be strong. This was the biggest form of brainwashing in the world. Remember after you sat down from relating, the group would say LOVE YA, I hated that shit. If you didn't conform you would be beat up and sat on and given peanut butter diet. LOVE YA, this was a sick form of entertainment for the sicko Dr. Newton. Love ya Dr. Newton. We were not given the opportunity nor priveledge of letting the parents know the truth, thus, a true cult. oh, better sit up and flap my arms, I'm getting written up by a 5th phaser. Maybe I'll be blasted after open meeting. Oh no, Help me. Love ya, have a seat and fuck you.

This was the jist of my four freakin years in hell.

WInston Churchill on "Sobriety" Churchill is probably one of the greatest alcoholics to grace the Earth in the 20th century.  Following is an anncedote that was shared with my US Govenrment class at the Annadale campus of the Northern Va Comm. College I was attneding while in Straight Inc.


One evenig Mr Churchill was accused of being drunk by an unknown woman.  He replied, "Yes, ma'am I am.  And you are ugly.  But I will be sober in the morning"
