Sam Stone: Collateral Damage

Many Veterans are the "Enemy" of the Bush D.E.A.th War

Sam Stone came home, To his wife and family After serving in the conflict overseas.
And the time that he served, Had shattered all his nerves, And left a little shrapnel in his knee. But the morphine eased the pain, And the grass grew round his brain, And gave him all the confidence he lacked, With a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back. There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes, Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose. Little pitchers have big ears, Don't stop to count the years, Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios. Mmm....

Sam Stone's welcome home Didn't last too long. He went to work when he'd spent his last dime And Sammy took to stealing When he got that empty feeling For a hundred dollar habit without overtime. And the gold rolled through his veins Like a thousand railroad trains, And eased his mind in the hours that he chose, While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes... There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes, Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose. Little pitchers have big ears, Don't stop to count the years, Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios. Mmm....

Sam Stone was alone When he popped his last balloon Climbing walls while sitting in a chair Well, he played his last request While the room smelled just like D.E.A.th With an overdose hovering in the air But life had lost its fun And there was nothing to be done But trade his house that he bought on the G. I. Bill For a flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill... There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes, Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose. Little pitchers have big ears, Don't stop to count the years, Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios. Mmm....

Needle drop-boxes OK’d By DAN WHITE

Sentinel staff writer May 15, 2002

SANTA CRUZ — Parks clean-up crews and advocates for addicts are hailing the city’s decision to put disposal boxes for used syringes in a dozen public restrooms.

After no discussion Tuesday, the council unanimously approved the plan, which will cost the city about $900. The steel padlocked boxes will be in bathrooms at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, the Louden Nelson Center, Main Beach and the Municipal Wharf.

Heather Edney of the Santa Cruz Needle Exchange, a nonprofit agency that lets intravenous drug users exchange dirty syringes for clean ones, said, "This means people understand it’s a public health issue and nothing more. It’s not about morality. It’s not about whether people should or should not use drugs."

But the council decision was met with harsh criticism from a spokesman for the Seaside Co., owner of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, the city’s biggest tourist draw. "This sends a horrible message about Santa Cruz to visitors and tourists," said Seaside’s John Robinson...
Robinson, who was not at the council session, said Seaside was not consulted about the proposal.


The Santa Cruz Needle Exchange hopes the plan will slow the spread of hepatitis C and HIV.

This sends a horrible message?

Ironic that it is the city’s biggest tourist draw believing these "tourists" arn't the ones buying and selling the white powder drugs, or the reality of STDs on the straight "tourists" getting acceptably drunk and layed, and then passed to their loved ones back home. Especially the condom phobes. This corporation does nothing for the community, except clog its streets and parking and pollute the water with its refuge.

Needle Exchange- You Know What I'm Saying?

Frizzi Maniglio, "Seeing my sister die the way she did convinced me that I had to get in and do something!" says Bronx needle exchange worker India Camacho. A close look at one community's fight for life, "You Know What I'm Saying?" challenges viewers to rethink the lethal assumptions behind punitive national and local drug policies.

Some California Needle Exchange Programs Emerge from Shadows as New Law Takes Effect
http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/121/canep.shtml

The dawn of 2000 brought a glimmer of hope to California’s 24 syringe exchange programs and a wait-and-see attitude from several veterans of one of drug policy reform’s highest-stakes battlegrounds.

As of January 1st, a new law protects syringe exchange practitioners in the state from prosecution – if the locality they serve declares a public-health emergency and re-declares the emergency every two weeks.

The statute is a weaker version of a bill that California Governor Gray Davis had threatened to veto last year. The original bill would have acknowledged the effectiveness of syringe exchange programs in combating the spread of hepatitis C and HIV, and would have allowed such programs to operate without a public-emergency declaration.

Davis signed the weaker bill last October. To date, the cities of Los Angeles and Berkeley, as well as Marin, Alameda, San Francisco, Contra Costa, Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties, have declared public health emergencies. http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/121/canep.shtml

Clean Needles and the Crisis in Drug Use
Washington Times (11/12/96) P. A23
Studies have not proven that needle exchange programs actually reduce the spread of HIV,
in part because such studies depend on an unreliable population, John P Walters


Sterile Needle = No AIDs
Waldo has no problem letting this unreliable population titrate dosages or provide Quality Assurance in his GOPerverted moronality making the disease of addiction into a very profitable crime.

Voters expect a war will produce relatively high levels of casualties - 1,000 American soldiers (seven times the casualties of the 1991 Gulf War) and thousands of Iraqi civilians. A majority of voters says they would judge a success a war that resulted in such levels of casualties but removed Saddam Hussein from power and disarmed Iraq.

Then there's the "wounded" returning in much greater numbers.
Some like Sam Stone, some not as lucky.
Many more than you might think still dug in to their hooches
living as homeless coming to town collecting relief once a month.
Much of the streets population are mentally ill vets,
released from the dungeons by Rayguns and Bush'Ý,
Thorazine shuffle to wonder around , 51/50 selling their birth rites.
Some just can't shake the wars nightmares in the daytime...
The Government preferred legal booze alternative
only adds liver damage and dementia.
Then they find what Science knew and hid from the people.
Then these vets get 90 years in prison for growing a remedy.
Serving foreign Oil Wars when homegrown veggies oil will do.
Pushing chemical cottons poisons when organic hemp is soft and stronger.

DEAth Czars lying about nutrition and hiding hempseed the omega efa's in perfect balance.
For humans and cows, instead of the 12 pounds of chemical grain for each pound of meat.
The trees yield less fiber with less tensile strength of hemp plywood,
or does it yield the cellulose for paper,
hemp without the bleaches that run off and poison more.
Jobs and cash crops and alternatives grown almost any place with dirt.
A natural weed to deter harmful weeds instead of Monsanto agent orange or DDT.
A weed that deters harmful bugs instead of Tom Delays pesticide killers.
A weed with deep roots to aerate the soil inviting worms and other natural fertilizers.
All the synthetic drugs Waldo sells, causing side effects,
requiring more over the counter meds.
To treat the diseases cause by these poisons sprayed instead of hemp alternatives.
Costly crude based chemicals pushed by these same Fossil Fool Internationalists,
How many times til the people finally get it?
Especially the ones getting shot and blowed up
