Well, we DO smell, but that's just because our spouses keep us locked in
sheds and basements, sweating over hot torches! -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay Dr. Sooz wrote: No no no! I don't like those swarthy, icky lampworkers, and I don't wanna go. :-P finger tapping temple... Hmmmm...... But why would it have to be only a "lampwork retreat"? Am I having a brain-fart or did I miss part of this thread?? Us beaders would wanna come, too! ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce |

When I get well enough, I'm arranging the "Kath's tour of Eurpoe." Can't guarantee you'll learn a lot, but you'll have fun, and gain weight (probably find a bead or two in the process, too). No castles? I'm amazed. Kathy N-V |

I've been to Canada, but that's hard to avoid since I used to live where
I could throw a rock to it. -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay starlia wrote: I'm all in for that trip! At least I've been to Canada and Mexico. LOL -- Starlia Klopman www.klopmanstudios.com |

That's what we have over here. It doesn't work.
Charlie. "Christina Peterson" wrote in message ... The best tactic to date to lower drug use AND save tax money, was setting up free treatment (including inpatient) for drugs and alcohol.

I'm not condoning general legalization of street drugs, BTW (though I pretty much believe in Darwinism in action LOL), but pointing out that it's a bit more complicated than pure economics. Well, it is definitely more than pure economics but everything boils down to money one way or another. The poppy fields in Afghanistan could and should be shut down but it boils down to money there too. I never realized until I came to the UK just how much they benefitted from all the Puritans leaving in a snit (yeah, and the Mayflower too...) The US got guilt, the English got maypoles. Not exactly a fair result, at least for everyone over there in the US. Personally I have no problem with legalizing marijuana, if it's treated like alchol then great, tax the hell out of it and use the money to fund schools. -Su |

The medical model did work here. Addiction and drug related crime
decreased, for the first time. It is the only thing that had any effect. The "war on drugs" has had the effect of turning the progress upside down. Funny that the president who applied the most effective program, is the same one who began the current, least effective program in his second term. Tina "Charlie" wrote in message ...
