    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    Be more worried about your neighbors ????
    You know the ones that drive home after having a few drinks at the club or sport with the kids in the car. The ones who speed, the ones that back out the driveways without looking. The ones that drink every night and still reckon they don't have a problem.
    I think its best to look in your back yard first.
    Remember without community support their may not be places like some are afraid of and then what

    That's the point, because we are aware of our neighbors, who may be dangerous to children, you don't want them brought together in one large group and moved next door to you. If you believe one neighbor, who may be dangerous, is bad imagine a whole house full. You don't move next door to a fireworks factory even though they take all the precautions in the world, it's that one time that something goes wrong. I don't gamble with the lives and futures of my own , or anyone else's kids. As far as community support, I don't know how they do it in Australia but here they call it FICA. Its the four letter word that begins with an F and it robs your paycheck every week for 30-35%. That is about as supportive as I want to be. Most people are too busy raising their kids to have time for anything else, like babysitting grown ups so they don't fall off the wagon.

    Another thing you tree huggers forget is that these people aren't here by choice. It is most probably court ordered. So they don't necessarily want to get better. Chances are they are still on the "juice".

    I personally do not buy into the "disease" theory ...Life is full of choices, sometimes you make the wrong one ! When society categorizes unacceptable behavior into a disease, then that makes the action "OK". Why can't the behavior just be bad, why is everything a disease??? Pick your poison, obesity,gambling,porn,drinking,smoking crack and the list never stops !!!

    On my original post ..Why not join them...."keep you enemies close and your friends closer" It IS coming so why not join in and see if you can steer this in a way that would be acceptable to you and yours?

    Sorry sir, but this is the one of the most untrue statements I think I may have read.... Life is but a flicker in time and today the light may go out !

    As stated before, I shouldn't be commenting on the psyche of the American citizen, as I have never been in the US long enough to feel assimilated.
    The same would apply to you regarding the Canadian psyche, unless you've spent considerable time up here.
    And I do feel perfectly safe without owning or carrying a weapon. I'm sorry that your US experiences make you think contrarily.
