Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / Coddling Noelle Bush?
« on: April 13, 2004, 11:49:00 PM »
This is a blurb from a story that is strangely no longer on MSNBC. Did anyone copy it before it was removed?
Coddling Noelle Bush?
Oh Noelle, Oh Noelle...
"Some people are questioning why Noelle Bush is attending a cushy drug rehab center, rather than a much tougher, more controversial one supported by her father.
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has repeatedly endorsed SAFE, a controversial drug rehab program that has been the subject of lawsuits and media exposes. 'SAFE is a very tough program, so much so that former participants have characterized it as so strict and rigid that it's cultlike," says Rick Ross, who writes about it on http://www.cultnews.com. "And although Governor Bush has supported the program in the past, he apparently didn't lobby for his daughter to attend SAFE.'"

My name is Glen Sutherland
I was there from 12/19/1986 till April or May 88.
I Seven stepped with Jill Fields.
For better or for worse, I really did love some folks there, and I hope you all are doing well, but I know some of the events have scarred us forever. Please forgive me if I was part of any of that. I would love to know who all is around and how you are doing. I am 35 and still have no idea what the heck I am supposed to do or how Straight effected me. I still to this day have not "used" since my intake. I have no idea if I am an addict, but it has been 18 years and I don't want to find out now. My life is so easily screwed up with out the extra hassle. The greatest thing I did after Straight was follow my dream to go to medical school. This was a great accomplishment because I am really learning disabled. However, I failed out. I am 35 ? 20 years after Straight, and I just got started over. I suppose that is not normal for most folks to fell that way, but pretty normal for us survivors when anything similar happens. After all the bullshit, and startovers for no reason, as I was never full of shit, but staff thought I was so, they would randomly start me over. Or maybe they perceived my parents as having money and the fortitude to keep me their for as long as it took. Clearly thing happened to clients for vary different reasons that Straight told us. I am not really bitter, it was so long ago, but it does affect me still. One thing it did is positive. I am a determined son of a bitch now. Nothing I face in life will even be as arbitrary, as difficult, or as point and mind fucking as that place. So, I failed out of medical school, I am not deterred. I will go to the Caribbean and try again.
Peace,
Glen

Wow, did you all see 48 hours tonight?
Any of you all play that game?
Is it really addicting?
