Head-Spinning Political Shit!

Two quick things to clarify...unless there has been an update to this information (which there certainly could have been):

1) Weiner did not say what he was going to treatment for and I don't believe that he has claimed sexual addiction.

2) The 17 year old was from Delaware and supposedly told "authorities" (whatever that means) that she did have contact with Weiner, but that he did not say anything inappropriate (meaning, sexual) to her at any time.

Did anyone hear anything different from the above today (don't want to give misinformation)?

As a society it would be far cheaper (not to mention more humane and sensible) to provide rehab services.

There is some assumption that if you are in jail for drugs, you are a drug addict. I do not buy it. Not everyone who does legal or illegal drugs is addicted or needs rehab.

I am a believer that ALL drugs be made legal. Yep...legal heroin, coke, crack, other white powder and smoke. Regulated, taxed and safe ways to get safe product. It's a frigging waste of money and time and resources to keep them illegal.

It'd be safer for the people who are using the drugs -and- for everybody else if it were legal.

Seriously. Splash out a zillion safe-injection sites and watch the HIV rates drop. And the death rate. And the fucked up forever rate.

I fail to see how saying we should provide rehab services implies in any way that everyone who uses drugs is an addict. Providing does not equal requiring....it simply means making them available to those who need them, yes?
