An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

Hmm yea I dont recall anything that I could associate with the Nazi regime.  
   
   Where Nazi Germany was (understatement) intolerant of other races Jews Negros etc I remember my time at the seed as being very non denominational and such that we embraced all races and creeds as brothers and equals.

Ricci I remember the tile floor, and helping you and your dad install it.   You guys really knew what you were doing with that marble business.

Cigartettes were approved by the Seed.

    Millions of people everywhere were hooked by the cigarette habit, Seed folks and other folks all included.   Hell even the FDA approved of them for the longest time.  It even took decades for them to be outlawed in resteraunts and other public placed.  If you REALLY wanted to argue the case it would not be inappropriate to state that the damned government was negligent in not making them illegal due to the health hazard involved.   Corporate self interests aside.

   Hahah I smoked Kools back then and couldnt wait for the rap leader to light one up.  It was always traumatic when a non-smoking person led the rap.

   I remember driving through that seminole reservation and totally being disgusted with myself, yet buying that carton over and over each and every week.  I hated every minute of smoking yet could not quit.  I did about 3 packs a day.

   Finally I had a heart attack.  The two weeks of cigarette free hospitalization which followed gave me enough of a head start that I was able to continue thereafter without cigarettes and I have never wanted to go back.

  For me, in a way,  it was perhaps the same as giving up the drug culture lifestyle.  ( I was no weekend warrior).  I hated that also but just didnt know how to go about changing it until someone else showed me how.

  I have honestly never had any desire to smoke cigarettes since that day.

Stipe no offence taken at all man.   I think its great for all of us to say what we think, regardless if we are in agreement or not.

   And honestly I didnt really percieve things quite the way that Greg had pointed out, and was not even aware that there was "another side".

   I guess it is just the way of the world that people can have differnt views and feelings about the same thing.

   Gotta say tho that I am very touched by the message in a differnt thread that Greg is raising his daughter to have drug free values.

   Is she getting any type of music or dance lessons?   Jesus I wish my parents had done that for me.  I could have been the next Elton John.

I think that the reason that folks were asked not to "analize" things was another way of merely saying that you should follow your gut feelings.  Sometimes the heart can offer the correct choice when the mind cannot.

I hope when I die of old age (or sharkbite) that noone attibutes it to my having been on the seed program 33+ years ago.  :lol:

Yup thats me.  Ohh yea

Greg I believe that I may have been living in Cranbrook then.  The incident was quite the fiasco at the time as I recall.   Altho I have read your account, I do not first hand remember very many specifics it was so long ago.
