America, Police State

By Chuck Baldwin

Only a blind or deliberately naive man cannot see that America — the once-proud “land of the free” — is being systematically turned into a twenty-first century police state.

Good grief!

The Heritage Foundation’s Index of Economic Freedom notes that America is not even listed among the “free” countries of the earth. We are ranked in the second tier, of “mostly free” countries. Beyond that, the Heritage index ranks the U.S. as only the 12th freest nation on the planet.

America, Police State Cont’d. on Page 3

And both the Republican and Democrat parties in Washington, D.C., are equally culpable for America’s slide into socialism and oppression. And so are many local and State leaders — including political, business, and law enforcement leaders. Suffice it to say that most big city governments have become almost totalitarian. Government buildings — even local ones — are sealed fortresses, not unlike the old palace-forts of antiquity.

In big and not-so-big cities, cameras monitor virtually everything we do.

When traffic cameras were installed in my hometown, residents and local authorities seemed to see nothing wrong with it. These people are behaving just like those wild hogs that nonchalantly ate their food while the fence was being built all around them.

In the name of “security” or “safety” or “protection,” Americans are surrendering their liberties. Ladies and gentlemen, face it: freedom is risky

business! If our Founding Fathers had wanted security or safety, they would have stayed in Europe — or at least remained a compliant colony of the Crown.

So, if one wants government enslavement in twenty-first century America, one should move back to Europe — or better yet, to Red China or North Korea!

Instead of demanding that government take care of us, we should be demanding that government get out of our wallets and off our backs, and let us live free, as our Creator intended we live! But how can we do that when we constantly clamor for more and more

Americans are putting the shackles around their own throats. Even churches and religious institutions are gorging themselves at the government teat. America doesn’t need to worry about terrorist attacks from Baghdad or Tehran as much as we should worry about the terrorism from Big Brother — brought about with our own approbation — right here at home.

When will we recognize that the Department of Homeland Security would be more properly named the Department of Homeland Enslavement?

Cop shoots dog in parked van COEUR D’ALENE, ID — An officer shot and killed a dog that was waiting for its owner inside of a parked van.

The officer later claimed it ‘lunged’ at him, but it was also revealed that he had his gun drawn the entire time.

The dog’s owner was Craig Jones, who was sitting inside a nearby restaurant eating breakfast at the time of the shooting. His black Labrador, ‘Arfie,’ was waiting inside his van, with a window half-opened for ventilation.

A Coeur D’Alene police officer approached the vehicle, apparently

because someone called police to report it being a ‘suspicious’ white van that bore similarities to one related to a child-luring case. The unnamed officer went in with his gun already drawn, KREM 2 News reported.

Arfie sat in the van, anticipating his owner’s return. The officer claims that Arfie then “lunged” at him, and he shot the dog in the chest. Arfie died.

A photograph of the scene showed that the bullet had actually traveled through glass to reach the dog.

The officer recorded his actions as

Police faked 911 calls to search homes “Arfie” was killed in a parked car.

(Source: Craig Jones / KREM) necessary to protect himself from a “vicious pit bull,” when the truth was that he killed a black Lab sitting in a parked car. Mr. Jones said the shooting was unbelievable and his dog did not have a mean bone in his body.

Mr. Jones is devastated, the Associated Press reported.

“I didn’t even know if he was still alive. They took him (Arfee) and left me a note, a card, on my windshield.

No police officer in sight,” Jones told the Coeur d’Alene Press. “This guy just wounded me so deeply. This will never go away. This was my best friend.”

Jones, who is from Coeur d’Alene but now lives in Colorado, said he was in town because of the recent death of his mother.

Arfee, Jones added, went with him everywhere and his dog’s company was helping him mourn the loss of his mother.

“There’s no way I can just return to Colorado without my dog,” Jones said. “I was planning on moving back up here actually and was just going to go back to get my stuff. But something like this is such a catastrophic thing in my life that I don’t know where I can go to escape it. There’s going to be a cloud over my head for a long time.”

It is difficult to precisely understand the urge that certain police officers feel as they unnecessarily shoot people’s pets while invading their space. It seems apparent, however, that if an officer is too jumpy to restrain his trigger finger when facing a pet, he is a clear liability for using unneeded force against human beings.

There has been no word on the officer’s identity or the department’s intention to fire or discipline him. He was not placed on administrative leave.

Jones intends to sue.

DURHAM, NC — A dubious police tactic has come to light, in which officers used falsified information in order to gain ‘consent’ to search private properties without a warrant.

Officers in Durham have apparently discovered that they can create the legal pretext for a search by lying about calls to 9-1-1 emergency services that never actually took place. The tactic is apparently legal — and commonplace — according to an officer’s sworn statements. WTVD-TV explains:

A Durham police officer admitted under oath that he lied in order to gain entry to a home and to serve an outstanding warrant.

During a court hearing last May, court officials say he told a District Court judge that it was a common practice within Durham’s police department.

He said he knocked on a resident’s door, claiming police had received a 9-1-1 hang up call. But, it never happened.

The tactic was pervasive enough for the Durham police chief to issue a department memo immediately calling for its disuse: It has recently been brought to my attention that some officers have informed citizens that there has been a 911 hang-up call from their residence 911 CALLS, cont’d. on Page 26

Do you have substance abuse disorder?

Vehicle insurance myths exposed

Take this short quiz to find the answer to this serious question

In 1956, the American Medical Association officially recognized alcoholism as a disease. Since then, the medical community has treated addiction to alcohol and drugs the very same it has treated cancer and schizophrenia. Although the classification of addiction as a disease has been unwavering, the actual criteria identifying someone as having the disease have, over the past half century, continued to be refined.

The newest changes are set to go into effect this October 2014. How will they affect you and/or the person you know who is abusing chemicals? Based on these new changes, who is, and is not, an addict?

Treated as a disease is a good thing

The good news is that we understand addiction. Even without knowing the actual chemical of choice, we know what symptoms to look for. We know that addiction causes other diseases or makes existing illnesses worse. We know addiction will always get worse if untreated, and that there is no “cure.”

If ignored, addiction is fatal. We also know how to treat addiction to put it into remission for life. Not only is it a treatable, but it’s diagnosis as a disease means insurance will pay for treat-

Who is, and is not, an addict?

As our culture evolves and abusive substances change, there is a constant need to refine the criteria that identifies someone as an addict. The year 2000 was the last time such changes were implemented. If you had an unhealthy relationship with alcohol or drugs you were classified as either an “abuser” or as “dependent.” A separate set of criteria applied to each. Soon problems became apparent. For example, under these guidelines, anyone under a physician’s care who was administered a drug over a lengthy period for legitimate reasons met the criteria for “dependence.” So, if you suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and were forced to rely on pain killers, your body would

become physically dependent on that chemical.

You would therefore be dependent and lumped in with the heroin users even though you would have no desire to use chemicals if not for your condition.

Professionals and clients alike said... huh?!

This didn’t make sense. So, come October 2014, the criteria identifying a person as an addict will change.

The old categories of abuser and dependent are done away with. Even the terms “addict” and “alcoholic” are to be used in the most general sense. The “addict” who had a disease of “chemical dependency” can now be assessed using a single set of criteria. If they meet the criteria they are diagnosed as having a “Substance Use Disorder.”

One set of criteria, one disease. Equally important, the new guidelines allow the counselor or clinician to identify the disease as “mild,” “moderate” or “severe” substance use disorder based on the number of criteria met. That’s great news. It means more individualized treatment for everyone.

2. I have no-fault insurance so that means it’s not my fault. Duh! Wrong. No-fault insurance means you only deal with your insurance company, regardless of who is at fault.

3. My friend wrecked my whip, so his insurance will cover it. Nope.

The policy follows the car, not the driver. Think twice before lending out yours.

4. A ticket means my rates will go up. Not necessarily. If it was for something minor and it’s your first, the rates might not increase. Maybe slow down, and take a defensive driving course.

5. I already have auto insurance, so my new car is automatically covered. Seriously? A shiny new car needs a shiny new policy.

Help keep your car safe from thieves

Car thieves can strike anywhere, so don’t let your vehicle become an easy target. The National Insurance Crime Bureau recommends a layered approach to protecting your vehicle.

Practice common sense

Park in well-lit, busy areas where thieves don’t have privacy to do their work. Always hide your valuables, lock the doors and windows, and take the keys with you when you leave.

Make it obvious

Install an audible alarm and use visible deterrents, such as a steering wheel lock, a steering column collar or a brake lock.

Take advantage of technology

Use electronic smart keys, kill switches and fuel cutoff systems to help prevent thieves from bypassing the ignition and hot-wiring your car.

Install a tracking system

What is veterans court?

Veterans Court takes veterans with misdemeanor and felony convictions and places them on a separate track, giving them treatment designed especially for veterans. Defendants in the program are closely monitored with regular court hearings and supported

by Veterans Affairs and other community-based organizations. Participants are rewarded for success, and penalized for non-compliance with the rules.

Only veterans who committed crimes as a result of a mental illness related to military service are eligible for the Court.

The program is a collaborative effort between the Superior Court, District Attorney's Office, Defense Bar, treatment providers, and the California Veterans Legal Task Force.

Participants are carefully screened and placed into programs that will give

them the tools to treat mental health issues and become productive citizens.

Many vets cope with problems when they return home from a deployment and must work to readjust to civilian life as well as to injuries and psychological problems, which can lead to substance abuse or issues with the law.

To be considered for Veterans Court, defendants must have prior or current military service and be able to show some type of mental health issue related to their service (post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, military sexual trauma, etc.). Trauma from combat is not always required.

However, there must be a connection between the criminal offense and a military related mental health issue.

Prior to acceptance into Veteran’s Court, each case must be screened and approved by a selection committee, which meets twice per month. Cases involving arson, sex registration, or prison sentences are not eligible.

San Diego Superior Court Judge Roger Krauel presides over Veterans Court, which meets every two weeks.

Stand Down wrap-up The 27th National Stand Down for homeless veterans concluded having served 894 registered participants over the weekend July 18-20. While the number of single male veterans seeking assistance declined compared with previous years, families made up a larger segment of the population receiving services. The three day event ended with an afternoon graduation ceremony for all participants in front of the stage on the upper athletic fields at San Diego High School.

“The increase in families at Stand Down has serious implications for our community,” said VVSD President and CEO Phil Landis. “This population represents a group that has significant unmet needs.”

A successful Stand Down would not have been possible without the support of nearly one hundred partner organizations including the Department of Veterans Affairs, Naval Medical Center San Diego, the DMV, Sharp Healthcare and other community nonprofits such as Fr. Joe’s Villages providing services.

Nearly three thousand volunteers pitched in, including hundreds of active duty members of the U. S. Military in uniform.

Stand Down’s philosophy is a hand up, not a hand out. The hand up is made possible each year by the dedication of San Diego veterans’ community, thousands of volunteers, hundreds of partner nonprofit and government organizations, and numerous event sponsors.

Microsoft works with military after-service careers

Microsoft has announced the expansion of the Microsoft Software & Systems Academy (MSSA) to Camp Pendleton (CA) and Fort Hood (TX), which provides a 16-week IT training program to eligible U.S. active duty service members as they prepare to transition out of the military. With the expansion, nearly 90 service members are benefitting from or have already completed the MSSA across three military bases.

The first program launched last fall at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state.

The MSSA program is helping service members secure their futures by preparing for high-skilled technology careers after their military service. Participants are taught by professors from Saint Martin’s University and Central Texas College, using a customized Microsoft IT Academy curriculum. Through interactive lessons and mock interviews, participants receive training to prepare them for the final step: the opportunity to interview at Microsoft.

Retirees unlikely to face UCMJ over legal pot

By Travis J. Tritten Retired from the military and want to light up a joint in a state that has legalized pot? Getting high will put you in a legal gray area, but no need to be paranoid.

The chances of being charged with a crime are practically nil, legal experts say, even though retirees are technically still subject to military law that forbids pot smoking anywhere, including Washington state and Colorado where recreational marijuana use is now allowed.

Cities and states around the country have adopted liberalized

pot laws in recent years as American views on the drug have mellowed. But the Department of Defense has said unequivocally that servicemembers and civilian employees can never use marijuana because of prohibition by the Uniform Code of Military Justice and federal law, which still considers it an illegal street drug.

The long arm of military law also extends to retired servicemembers who draw pension payments.

In rare cases, the services have recalled retirees to charge them with crimes.

Draft notices sent to 14,000 men born in 1800s The Selective Service System mistakenly sent notices to more than 14,000 Pennsylvania men born between 1893 and 1897, ordering them to register for the nation's military draft and warning that failure to do so is "punishable by a fine and imprisonment."

The agency realized the error when it began receiving calls from bewil-

dered relatives last week.

The glitch, it turns out, originated with the Pennsylvania DOT during a transfer of nearly 400,000 records to the Selective Service. A clerk working with the state's database failed to select the century, producing records for males born between 1993 and 1997 — and for those born a century earlier.

New rugged all-terrain boots for Marines

With the release of Marine Administrative Message 299/14, the Marine Corps will replace the Temperate Weather Marine Corps Combat Boot with the Hot Weather and Temperate Weather Rugged All-Terrain boot, beginning in fiscal year 2015, the new boots will be issued to recruits and officer candidates.

The RAT boots, according to the MARADMIN, have a longer useful life than the MCCBs and will show in the clothing allowance for each Marine. The allowance change will reflect the price difference and longer useful life of the RAT boot, decreasing the clothing allowance by $31.07 per active-duty enlisted Marine.

Marine Corps will replace the Temperate Weather Marine Corps Combat Boot with the Hot Weather and Temperate Weather Rugged All-Terrain boot (Photo courtesy of Marines.mil) brown rough-side-out leather boots with a reinforced heel and toe and a wider platform for better weight distribution.

The Marine Corps will outfit every Marine with the RAT boots by October 1, 2016.

Navy expands command ball cap policy U.S. Navy Command baseball caps are making a comeback by popular demand. Starting Sept. 1, U.S. Navy commanding officers will be authorized to allow their sailors to wear command ball caps with Navy Working Uniforms, Types I, II and III. Command ball caps used to be a mainstay withutility uniforms; they identified the ship a sailor belonged

to and also were a source of pride.

However, when utilities were replaced by Navy Working Uniforms, that uniform came with a matching eight-point cover. As a result, in 2010, the Navy implemented tighter rules on the use of ball caps.

Officials said feedback from sailors at all hands calls spurred the decision to bring the cap back.

CHARGERS REPORT

Marshall sees big improvement in the secondary

With the secondary being the No. 1 position of concern over the offseason, GM Tom Telesco re-signed cornerback Richard Marshall. Having shown steady progress in his starts during the regular season and playoffs, Marshall signed a one-year deal to return to the Chargers. A second round draft pick of the Carolina Panthers in 2006, Marshall’s experience and familiarity in John Pagano’s defense should play an important role in the improvement in the secondary. MP reporter Art Garcia Jr. caught up with Marshall during the first week of training camp and asked him about the upcoming season.

AG: How does it feel to finally be back in training camp?

RM: It feels good – especially since I feel 100-percent healthy. Last year I was coming off back surgery and I wasn’t feeling like myself, but now I feel like I’m getting my movement back and I like the way I’m moving out on the field.

AG: How early in the season last year did you hurt your back?

RM: I was coming off back surgery when I was released by Miami. I had surgery in November (2012), so last November during the season I was a year from back surgery and I started to feel good in November and December and now that I’m feeling healthy I’m able to move around like I’m used to and play the way I’m normally used to playing.

AG: So getting healthy was the key to your turnaround last year because you showed steady improvement at the end of the year?

RM: Yeah – I started feeling better; started to be able to run like the way I know I can run. I was able to move like the way I can move … and now just being 100-percent out here I’m able to move and break the way I’m used to doing.

AG: You guys really seemed to come together as a defensive unit late in the season, what was the key to the turnaround?

RM: We just started getting better.

We started getting more turnovers, whether it was fumble recoveries or interceptions – just more turnovers.

We started playing as a whole (unit) and everybody was on the same page throughout that march at the end of the season. And we hope to build on that going into this season.

AG: Previewing this season, all the reports on the Chargers points to the secondary as the weak link. Does that motivate you guys to prove everyone wrong?

RM: If you’re honest with yourself, we know we didn’t play up to par last year in the secondary. Now we have some key guys in (Brandon) Flowers and (Jason) Verrett coming in to compete and we look a lot better right now as far as we move and how we are competing for balls. We look better now than we did during the season last year, so we just need to continue to get better.

AG: It looks like Flower’s signing brought some swagger to the secondary, what do you think of him joining the secondary unit?

RM: I feel that Brandon is a good corner and he’s been playing for years

in the NFL and with him coming in here it brings another person to compete. Guys being healthy (is the key to success), Shareece (Wright) was hurt last year – he hurt his heel – and he’s healthy now… he’s able to move around and do some stuff that he wasn’t able to do last year. So we’re healthy now and we’re competing.

We look different out here … we look different when we watch film and we just look different in the secondary period.

AG: You say you’re healthy now; did you train any different coming into this season as opposed to previous off-seasons?

RM: Well last year during the offseason I really couldn’t train because I was rehabbing my back. This year I got back with my trainer and really started training hard on building muscle. Last year I played under 183-pounds and that’s a little underweight for me. Now I’m 196-pounds – I got my weight back on me and I’m ready to move.

AG: Has the weight gain affected your speed at all?

RM: No, I gained muscle. That was a big part (of how I played) because I lost a lot of muscle when I hurt my back and now I can move, break and run faster than I did during the season last year.

The Endzone:

When asked he set any goals for himself, Marshall replied: “I just want to be here and make plays when the plays come to me. I want to be a teamplayer, wherever the coaches need me to play I need to go in there and make the team better. I never go into a season saying I have these certain goals that I must meet. I mean, everyone has goals about how many interceptions and tackles they want, but as a whole, I want the team to be good. My main focus is the team – if the team is playing good then that means we’re playing good in the back end. So as long as we’re playing good I’m fine.” Marshall started five regular-season games and both of the Chargers’ playoff games.

He finished fourth on the team with 71 tackles, he also had six pass deflections and one forced fumble.

By Ramona Shelburne | ESPN.com The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to terms with Byron Scott to be their next head coach.

especially when I got to coaching.

It’s so unreal. I have to thank [general manager] Mitch [Kupchak], Jeanie and Jim Buss to give me this opportunity.”

Scott has been the front-runner for the job throughout most of the nearly three-month coaching search, which began when Mike D’Antoni resigned on April 30. His status as a three-time champion with the team during the Showtime era, his close relationship with Kobe Bryant and his familiarity with the current roster after having worked as an analyst all of last season for the Lakers television station, Time Warner Cable SportsNet, gave him the early edge.

Scott then impressed Lakers management during three interviews, the last of which took place after the team’s roster had been filled out and Scott was given a chance to articulate his vision for the current personnel.

The Lakers were impressed by Scott’s reputation as a disciplinarian, believing that temperament to be the right fit for a young team and able to take some pressure off Bryant in that area.

The Lakers interviewed a handful of candidates for the job, but after

making quick hires in their past two coaching searches, the franchise decided to prioritize the draft and free agency over hiring a coach.

The Lakers had contacted five coaches besides Scott about the position -- Mike Dunleavy, Kurt Rambis, Alvin Gentry, Lionel Hollins and ESPN NBA analyst George Karl.

Three of those candidates soon accepted new jobs after talking to the Lakers. Hollins was hired as coach of the Brooklyn Nets after Jason Kidd bolted for the Milwaukee Bucks, while Gentry (Golden State Warriors) and Rambis (New York Knicks) accepted associate head-coaching positions.

Bryant, who played with Scott in 1996 during his rookie season, offered a key endorsement during his basketball camp in Santa Barbara, California, three weeks ago.

“He was my rookie mentor when I first came into the league,” Bryant said. “So I had to do things like get his doughnuts and run errands for him and things like that. We’ve had a tremendously close relationship throughout the years. So, obviously, I know him extremely well. He knows me extremely well. I’ve always been a fan of his.”

Gladiator Rock ‘n’ Run hits San Diego

Talking with “Nitro” Dan Clark

By Jeri Jacquin Get ready adrenaline junkies, on August 2nd right here in San Diego comes the Gladiator Rock ‘n’ Run. Take a minute to visit www.gladiatorrocknrun.com/event_august_2. html to find out more about the events and receive a $25 off entry with the code MILITARY25. You can also follow on Facebook at www.facebook.com/GladiatorRocknRun. Founded by former American Gladiator Dan ‘Nitro’ Clark, he created obstacles that will test participants to the maximum. Some of the obstacles might seem familiar to our military men and women and there’s a reason for that. His father was a Marine!

Taking that knowledge he created this one day event in San Diego that includes extreme obstacles and harsh terrain with a celebration at the finish line that includes music, beer and food for all.

Clark not only does this to allow everyone to challenge themselves, but he does it for charity. Their partner for the event is Talk About Curing Autism (TACA), a cause that Clark believes in whole heartedly that help families in need.

So you can imagine my thrill at getting a chance to speak with Dan Clark, or Nitro if you prefer, about what inspired him to create the event and people who make it even more special.

JJ: Hi Dan, thanks for talking with us about GLADIATOR ROCK N’ RUN. Nitro: No problem, my pleasure.

JJ: Tell me about GLADIATOR ROCK N’ RUN? Nitro: I use to do a show called AMERICAN GLADIATORS and I was a professional football player so I’ve always had athletics mixed with entertainment in my blood. In 2010 I finally worked my way up to run a half marathon so now I’m a bigger guy and started doing 5K and 10Ks. I felt this great sense of accomplishment. Then I thought there has got to be something better than just running and pounding your feet into the pavement for two hours. What kind

By Howard Hian www.travels-with-hian.com A recent trip involved “kicking the tires” at the newly opened RIU Playa Blanca in Panama. One vacation souvenir I always shop for is head wear. So, what could be more appropriate than adding an iconic Panama hat to my wardrobe? Another reason to own one — this is the Panama Canal’s centennial celebration.

It had been 20 years since my last visit to Panama City. At that time, it was an unremarkable third world capitol; grimy and run down. Landing at the sleek Tocumen International Airport in Panama City was my first hint that a lot had changed. I was further amazed as my shuttle to the beachfront RIU Playa Blanca whizzed past glittering skyscrapers lighting up the picturesque harbor. Arrival at the resort was welcoming and efficient; always appreciated after a long travel day. The stylish, comfortable room provided a quiet, restful night.

The Panama Canal is an essential sightseeing stop. I was able to stand near the lip of “the Big Ditch” at the Miraflore Lock (where there is also a visitors center). By chance, a tanker and a sailboat were both in the lock.

Our guide estimated that the sailboat paid $800 and the tanker $300,000 for the transit; cruise ships pay up to $500,000.

Next on the schedule was a day-trip to Valle de Anton. This quaint village is located on the floor of a collapsed volcano crater. Its mild climate, trails and artisan markets make it an ideal tourist destination. A highlight was a hike through the rain forest to the Chorro El Macho waterfall. The area is also one of Panama’s premier birding spots and home to the Blue Morpho (one of the largest butterflies in the world) and the endangered Golden Frog.

Our tour stopped at the Tuscan inspired La Casa de Lourdes, a bed and breakfast, with a world-class restaurant. The setting is memorable, featuring lush gardens and mountain views.

Sound asleep at the RIU that evening, I was awakened as my bed gently rocked and rolled to a 6.8 earthquake located off the coast 80 miles away. I called the hotel operator for confirmation and laughed when I discovered that we were both from California and perhaps the only two who realized what had happened.

Urban discovery followed as my home base moved to the cosmopolitan, five-star RIU Plaza in the financial district.Panama City offers upscale shopping and fine dining, but for me it provided the opportunity to explore the Unesco World Heritage Site of colonial Old Panama, Casco Viejo. Perfect for wandering, there are restaurants, bars, shops, galleries and open-air markets.

Celebrities aging badly: CARRIE FISHER

Lingo bingo

An older couple, who were both widowed, had been going out with each other for a long time.

Urged on by their friends, they decided it was finally time to get married. Before the wedding, they went out to dinner and had a long conversation regarding how their marriage might work. They discussed finances, living arrangements, and so on.

Finally, the old gentleman decided it was time to broach the subject of their physical relationship. “How do you feel about sex?” he asked, rather tentatively. “I would like it infrequently,” she replied.

The old gentleman sat quietly for a moment, adjusted his glasses, then leaned over towards her and whispered, “Is that one word or two?”

Just for Laughs Oh, brother

PUZZLE PAGE

A man gets home early from work and hears strange noises coming from the bedroom.

He rushes upstairs to find his wife naked on the bed, sweating and panting.

“What’s up?” he says.

“I’m having a heart attack,” cries the woman.

He rushes downstairs to grab the phone for ambulance, but just as he’s dialing, his 4-year-old son comes up and says, “Daddy! Daddy! Uncle Fred is hiding in your closet and he’s got no clothes on!”

The man slams the phone down and storms upstairs into the bedroom, past his screaming wife, and rips open the wardrobe door. Sure enough, there is his brother, totally naked, cowering on the closet floor.

Four friends spend weeks planning the perfect desert camping and riding trip. Two days before the group is to leave Rob’s wife puts her foot down and tells him he isn’t going. Rob’s friends are very upset that he can’t go, but what can they do. Two days later the three get to the camping site only to find Rob sitting there with a tent set up, firewood gathered, and supper cooking on the fire. “Dang man, how long you been here and how did you talk your wife into letting you go?” “Well, I’ve been here since yesterday. Yesterday evening I was sitting in my chair and my wife came up behind me and put her hands over my eyes and said ‘guess who’?” I pulled her hands off and she was wearing a brand new see-through nightie. She took my hand and took me to our bedroom. The room had two dozen candles and rose pedals all over. She had on the bed, handcuffs and ropes!

She told me to tie and cuff her to the bed and I did. And then she said, “Now, you can do what ever you want.”

Robot for sale

A father buys a lie detector robot that slaps people when they lie. He decides to test it out at dinner one

night. The father asks his son what he did that afternoon. The son says, “I did some homework.” The robot slaps the son. The son says, “Ok, Ok, I was at a friend’s house watching movies.” Dad asks, “What movie did you watch?” Son says, “Toy Story.” The robot slaps the son. Son says, “Ok, Ok, we were watching porn.” Dad says, “What? At your age I didn’t even know what porn was.” The robot slaps the father. Mom laughs and says, “Well, he certainly is your son.” The robot slaps the mother.

Logic... not

Two Tennessee Rednecks, Bubba and Jim Bob, are sitting at their favorite bar, drinking beer. Bubba turns to Jim Bob and says, “You know, I’m tired of going through life without an education. Tomorrow I think I’ll go to the Community College, and sign up for some classes.” Jim Bob thinks it’s a good idea, and the two leave. The next day, Bubba goes down to the college and meets the Dean of Admissions, who signs him up for the four basic classes: Math, English, History, and Logic. “Logic?” Bubba says. “What’s that?”

The dean says, “I’ll show you. Do you own a weed-eater?”

“Yeah.” “Then logically speaking, because you own a weed-eater, I think that you would have a yard.” “That’s true, I do have a yard.”

“I’m not done, the dean says. “Be-

cause you have a yard, I think logically that you would have a house.” “Yes, I do have a house.” “And because you have a house, I think that you might logically have a family.” “I have a family.”

“I’m not done yet. Because you have a family, then logically you must have a wife.” “Yes, I do have a wife.”

“And because you have a wife, then logic tells me you must be a heterosexual.” “I am a heterosexual. That’s amazing, you were able to find out all of that because I have a weed-eater.”

Excited to take the class now, Bubba shakes the Dean’s hand and leaves to go meet Jim Bob at the bar. He tells Jim Bob about his classes, how he is signed up for Math, English, History, and Logic. “Logic?” Jim Bob says, “What’s that?”

Bubba says, “I’ll show you. Do you have a weed-eater?”

“No.” “Then you’re a queer.

She passed a tavern and thought to herself, “Vy nodt.” She walked in and quietly took a seat at the end of the bar.

The bartender walked up to her and said, “And what would you like to drink today?”

“Vell Ya know,” Helga said in a timid voice, “I don’t usually go into da bars, but today I vill make an exception. It iss zo hot, I tink I vill have myself a beer.”

ADDICTION QUIZ Cont’d. from Page 8

Do you, or does someone you love, have substance use disorder? Take the test.

Which of the following apply?

• Compulsion, or using more or for longer periods than intended.

• A persistent desire or repeated unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control substance use.

• Considerable time is spent on activities necessary to obtain, use or recover from the substance.

• Craving, or a strong desire or urge to use the substance.

• Recurrent substance use resulting in a failure to fulfill major role obligations at work, school, or home.

• Continued substance use despite having persistent or recurrent social or interpersonal problems caused or worsened by the effects of the substance.

• Isolation, or important social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced because of substance use.

• Recurrent substance use in situations in which it is physically hazardous.

• Substance use is continued despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or worsened by the substance.

• Tolerance, as defined by either a.) a need for markedly increased amounts to achieve the intoxication, or, b.) a markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of substance.

• Withdrawal, as defined by either

a.) characteristic withdrawal syndrome, or b.) the substance (or a closely related substance) is taken to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms. (Note: no Withdrawal criteria for hallucinogens.

No withdrawal criteria for sedative/ hypnotic/anxiolytic or for stimulants if under medical supervision.)

Scoring is as follows: 2 - 3 = Mild substance use disorder. 4 - 5 = Moderate substance use disorder. 6+ = Severe substance use disorder.

This simple test can save your life.

If you scored a 0 or 1 then congratulations. But you still have to watch your butt whenever chemicals are involved in your activities because you never know if you have a substance use disorder until it’s too late. For everyone who scored a 2 or above I urge you to 1.) be especially careful, and, 2.) be assessed by a professional to find out if you have a substance use disorder, the severity, and what to do about it. The worst thing you can do is do nothing. If you or a loved one is suffering, contact me and I’ll point you in the right direction.

Cont’d. from Page 7 “We never said that we could not handle more patients, just that we were concerned about patients potentially waiting too long for appointments,” Associate Director Cynthia Abair wrote in an email.

“The truth is that the VA San Diego Healthcare System can handle additional patients,” said Gering.

Between October 2013 and May of this year, VASDHS saw 3,646 patients, a 6 percent increase over the same period last year.

Gering said there are many possible reasons for the influx of patients, “one which we believe is that the growth is due to the strong reputation of the San Diego VA in the community.”

According to the Veterans Health Administration’s national audit in midApril, 334 new patients couldn’t secure appointments at VASDHS until after 90 days. As of June 15, the latest data available, there were 360 new patients on the Electronic Waiting List.

That number had fallen from June 1 data, which counted 375. The jump from the original count represents veterans who might’ve already been in

primary care through the VA, but now need to see a specialist or visit a clinic, Butler said. But she said she couldn’t explain the difference in numbers because the data had come out of the national office, and “we don’t know how they were calculated.”

In an effort to tackle its backlog, VASDHS is using $11 million out of next year’s operating budget to pay for some new patients to be seen by private doctors outside of the VA. Some San Diego veterans still might be in the dark about available services. Bill York is COO of 2-1-1, a service that wrangles resources for the local veteran community and communicates what’s available to veterans. “I would probably have to agree that older generations that maybe have not connected to the VA in the past might not be aware of these things that they’re eligible for,” York said.

Shrinking outreach efforts haven’t entirely been the local system’s fault.

Toward the end of 2012, the federal VA began a gradual process to privatize its transition workshops for service members about to re-enter civilian life. In the workshop’s previous iteration, staff members from the VA benefits office were given four hours for their pre-

sentation on disability compensation, Butler said. VASDHS was given a halfhour of that time to overview care and services.

But when the privatized version, called Transition GPS, was rolled out last year, Butler and her team got the directive from Washington they would no longer be allowed to participate.

Instead, federal VA contractors give a six-hour presentation on care and compensation during the last day of the five-day workshop, according to a spokesman for Navy Region Southwest, whose separating sailors are required to complete the workshops.

Both by its own hand and because of outside forces, VASDHS has narrowed the scope of its outreach. The impact of that shift might only be felt by those who aren’t actively engaged in San Diego’s veteran community – the ones who could benefit most from access and information.

“We’ve seen seniors not know about the benefits,” York said. “They just never connected in the first place. …

Often non-wartime…veterans don’t always even identify and realize that they’re potentially eligible for benefits, so we do see some from those eras – the Cold War era, the mid-’80s, after Desert Storm.”

Even the term “veteran” can be alienating for these service members.

“We even ask the question, ‘Did you serve in the military?’” York said. “Depending on when they served, ‘Yeah, well I am but I’m not connected,’ or ‘I’ve never been to the VA.’ There’s an opportunity there.”

in order to obtain consent to enter for the actual purpose of looking for wanted persons on outstanding warrants. Effective immediately no officer will inform a citizen that there has been any call to the emergency communications center, including a hang-up call, when there in fact has been no such call.

– Jose L. Lopez, Sr., Chief of Police Chief Lopez deserves credit for rejecting the practice within his department. But the situation is troubling and raises many questions. But how pervasive is the tactic elsewhere? What can protect people in other jurisdictions from being searched using deception?

Is this one of those situations that qualifies as an “unreasonable search” which is prohibited under the 4th Amendment?

pen, 29. “I saw his arm fall limp and a police officer place it back on his chest, and I thought to myself, ‘He’s dead.’”

Crippen commented on the lack of urgency to reach the hospital: “They sat in the ambulance about 10 minutes before it moved. And then it rolled away, no lights, no sirens.”

Jermaine “DJ” Darden was pronounced dead at the hospital. He left behind a wife and 2 teenage sons. He was found him with nothing illegal in his possession.

It took months for the medical examiner to declare an official cause of death. While some expected the death to be a homicide, it was instead announced that Mr. Darden died of “natural causes.” No culpability was placed on the officers’ use of force or the mul-

tiple electrical shocks. Officially, it was just a coincidence that he died during the raid.

“No, he didn’t die of natural causes, because if that’s the case, he would have [already] been dead,” his mother said. “They gave him a heart attack.

They put him into a heart attack.”

Presented with a dismissive explanation for Darden’s death, a grand jury predictably let off the sole unnamed police officer who was reviewed for criminal liability.

The rivers of blood spilled in such senseless situations provides us with the most compelling and personal reason to end the violent Drug War. None of this would have the chance to happen if the government wasn’t fixated on micromanaging people’s personal decisions, sending enforcers who are prepared to kill or be killed in the name of senseless prohibition laws.
