Hi all, in the spirit of things, I was placed into the program on someones birthday, my Mom's birthday to be exact. She must have been on the biggest manic high of her life. It needed to be done though, because I seriously think that if she had not placed me into the program when she did, that things would have come to a head and I would have either burned the goddamn house down, or maybe even killed someone. I was messed up to be sure, but it was not pot or drugs or alchohol. I was messed up on the simple fact that I came from an abusive childhood, been passed over countless times from help that was only available to the rich and powerful, and left to rot in my own world of shit that was NOT of my own making. Had it not been for my father entering the program with my dumbass stepbrother's problems with huffing chemicals and shit, I would have never been a part of the Straight nightmare. Instead, I was ensnared by their greed and over time I was yanked away and placed into the loving hands of "Daddy Warbucks" since my father worked for General Electric. I have mentioned this fact before in other posts that the leaders of Straight targeted parents who worked in the Defense Industry. The reason was simple. They had the fuckin money. They scared the shit out of these parents with their ill gotten footage of car crashes and OD's and shit and made a good enough sales pitch to hook them in. Man 'O day, if we could only find a viable link to put the person responsable into finding and recruiting families of the Tampa Bay area defense workers of that time period, we would have a valid point into the illegal coersion of countless Straight Inc. victims. Anyone with anything pertanent on that please E-mail me on it and I will see what I can do. 85-DJ
