Seriously, folks, this is the face of the War on Drugs. This is what happens when you try to force people to change. This is what happens when you build an industry around "fixing" people to government specifications. I think I'll go vomit now.

What a ghastly name.

Well, its not STRAIGHT anymore, that organization got shut down by states and bankrupted by lawsuits. Now the same practices are overseen by the same people under such names as SAFE and Kids Helping Kids.

I think you've given me this weeks goal. It's letter to the Senator time! I've been corresponding with a lady from the state reps office in Pennsylvania all week, so I may bring it up to her too!

Ok, they may be driven insane, raped and forced to have abortions, beaten, and treated worse than farm animals or convicted child molestors, but they're not on illegal drugs anymore. :rolleyes:

Parents of NS! Save your children from the horrors of drug abuse!

How?

The answer is simple: send all your children's drugs to me for proper disposal. I guarantee you'll never see them again. And if they have persistent troubles, well I can accomodate that, too.

Just keep those evil drugs coming. We'll get to the bottom of it all eventually.

By working together, we can rid your children's lives of the horror of drugs in perpetuity.

Muahahahahahaha...

Hm, something in this offer seems like it might be less than honest.
On the other hand, as a USian, I automatically do whatever a glowing screen tells me to do. So I will be promptly sending you this pound cocaine that I seized at my local Middle School (Why was I lurking around the Middle School? I don't so much feel like saying).
