Questions are free to ask. If you are going to put so much faith into your government to create a purpose made branch of an agency or an entirely new stand alone agency shouldn't you be interested in demanding answers ahead of time of exactly what you'll end up paying for?
Or are you one of the trusting types?
YOU really trust the same government that spawned the Transportation Safety Administration?
I have question.. I want to know what role SAMHSA will play in this. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to be exact.
I ask this because of the following:
and of course a little more digging reveals....
Now I'm not half the digger of dirt as some of your drug war insurgents are. But I do suspect there is a bit of a connection between this Phoenix Foundation and the infamous Phoenix House spin off.
Curious that... very curious..
So what the hell is a Modified Therapeutic Community?
What makes this an evidence based approach?
And why does that phrase seem so familiar? It is because ASTART has been railing on about it for years on end and it's a logical jump for a program to adopt the phrase as their own in the never ending morphing of programs?
Maybe.. I dunno.. I'm curious to find out though.
So who researched this MTC concept?
What is the connection between them and Drug Free America... *cough* *cough* Mel and Betty Sembler?
As a curious asides.. and I do not intend nor do I mean to imply any connection.. but what is Miller's voting record on SAMHSA? Has his office picked up on this? Have they been asking who the hell the Phoenix Foundation is and are they aware of the connection between the Foundation and Synonan?
Look peeps.. It's ok to ask questions.. It's ok to demand answers. One of my primary objections to HR 911 is the seeming lack of questions in regards to how exactly this is going to work. Questions on what will happen if it turns into your typical American governmental clusterfuck. Questions on the role and legal limits these Federal investigators will have into state level legal issues. Questions on the exact methods of enforcement of these minimal standards.
