I've started to use it myself. Do I have to pay you royalties for that? ;-)<BR/><BR/>For another great example of how to handle questions about the motives behind your drug policy work, check out this video of former SSDP board member, Chris Mulligan, who was profiled for the Washington Post website: <A HREF="http://specials.washingtonpost.com/onbeing/#052907-7v-ChrisM.1" REL="nofollow">LINK</A>Micah Daiglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153647198534157206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18542739.post-50480580366220002872007-09-03T18:41:00.000-05:002007-09-03T18:41:00.000-05:00Hey the use of false associations to besmirch some...Hey the use of false associations to besmirch someone who brings out embarrassing facts about dishonesty is a longstanding tactic of those in power. Jesus was called "the friend of prostitutes and tax collectors" for his diatribes about the inconsistent and self serving prattle of those in power in his day. Calmly claim to be the "friend of drug dealers and addicts" as Jesus would certainly be called - after he commented on the brazen lies and dishonesty by all those in power who promote this vile policy.<BR/> Of course if any claim to disagree, offer to discuss your claim at their local church using scripture. Please note: lying is repeatedly condemned by Jesus and there is no scripture condemning the use of any drug in the Bible. And that includes Leviticus with over 600 arcane prohibitions - half of them are ones that no Bible believing Christian even tries to follow. The mantra of all christian leaders in Philomath is "When Jesus says something that we don't like - we just tell Jesus to take a hike"!JT Barriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571868033521182864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18542739.post-34705004094211763712007-09-03T03:46:00.000-05:002007-09-03T03:46:00.000-05:00Hey Rebecca, thanks a lot for writing this.
