She, too, walked there to get it and and purchased several cans at one time. There was NOTHING else in her medical history that would have caused her death and a nearly full can of the stuff was lying close beside her body. By the way, she was a substance abuse counselor. There is no profession immune.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-73104913151305317522012-06-27T09:42:47.377-05:002012-06-27T09:42:47.377-05:00LS:

They want people who are maladjusted in some way. They probably are more likely to go along with the warped program.<br /><br />If a relatively balanced individual sneaks through the cracks, he/she probably is run off.<br /><br />You really do have to laugh at the GOP's "pro family" mantra.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-30646667405815680072012-06-26T17:39:30.812-05:002012-06-26T17:39:30.812-05:00Lawyers & folks in the military do tend to use...Lawyers & folks in the military do tend to use substances like this because of the demands on their time. When lunch is catered or you're required to eat at the cafeteria in the building where you work, you can't be going across town to see your drug dealer. Some law firms require employees to live within walking/bus service distance. Your drug dealer won't be able to come see you because everyone who comes to the office must check in with security.<br /><br />Buying cleaning supplies at the 24 hour drug store after the pharmacy has closed may be your only option for getting high when other people are in control of your schedule. I've been in the military & have worked for a law firm that served catered meals & required me to live in the building. Had I been a drug addict, I would have been unable to get high using traditional methods. It's no wonder so many people resort to "shake & bake" meth & huffing.<br /><br />The real reason so many folks are doing drugs is that they have no life outside of work & the police officers, prosecutors & judges also have no life outside their work. So, they are unwilling to deal with the issue.<br /><br />People usually turn to drugs after a divorce or relationship breakdown that started because they can't get enough time off from work. Want to go see a baseball game or watch a movie with your girlfriend or wife & kids? Good luck with that! <br /><br />The police & courts are run by former military officers who are accustomed to going to war or planning for the next one. Our society is controlled by folks who just don't give a shit about family life. With all kinds of "good pussy" & "drugs that will blow your mind" waiting at the brothels in the next Asian country we are going to invade. Who cares about family? Bring on the "little brown fucking machines" as Alabama Lawyer & former Army Sergeant Robert Francis Nelson would say. <br /><br />Let's hope the next time we deploy, it's The Philippines. You can buy a 12 year old for $50 and throw her in the back of the 5 ton with the gear as Gunnery Sergeant Donald Wright would say. It's the Marine Corps way!Robby Scott Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625575128616865817noreply@blogger.com
