Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / school
« on: February 09, 2003, 12:21:00 AM »
way back when there was a series of discussions about whether people could make their own good fortune or whether it was fate and about how some people want handouts but other people make their own luck.

My position is that poverty gets a person stuck and it is extremely hard to get up without assistance.  Someone said if you want something bad enough you will get it.

So I went and applied to college.

I got in.

My financial aid was about nine thousand dollars short, despite the fact that I am poverty level.

I guess I will try again next year somewhere cheaper, but the myth that higher education is open to everyone is... a myth.

Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / DFAF & the 990s
« on: November 17, 2002, 12:05:00 AM »
On Wes Fagers web site: "Sammie Monroe barred from DFAF. Samantha Monroe is the executive director of the newly founded SAFEYnet--an organization formed to protect the rights of youthful clients in Western rehabilitation programs. What we heard is that one day during the week of September 9, 2002 Ms. Monroe stopped by the Drug Free America Foundation (DFAF) to ask for a copy of their 990 tax returns. Story "

Uhm, y'all probably discussed this whole thing back in September when it was new news, but help me out here:  What is a 990?  Did Sammie ever get the tax returns?  What did they reveal?

Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / Brady Minnick

HA!  I just remembered the name of the staff person who told me that if I tried to withdraw when I turned 18 they would get me court ordered to Straight because of the pot I had on me on intake day.

BRADY MINNICK ARE YOU OUT THERE AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY TO ME

Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / What do you know about brainwashing?
« on: October 30, 2002, 07:12:00 AM »
In a recent thread someone said that they read that brainwashing can take twenty years to wear off.  Now I can't find that post, but I am starting a new thread with this question:  What do you know about brainwashing?  I would love to hear personal as well as intellectual, research perspectives.  If you have found a book or a website that you think has good information, please list that here as well.  If you spent time with a "professional" working this out, or in the woods, or anything, please talk about that as well if you can.
