A person who loves work so much, they could watch it all day (as long as they are sitting down).

I guess I should have expected that question... Long Answer? Short Answer? Is this the place for it?

Welcome to RPF, Tami!

I think you'll like it here. We share the love pretty well, even though there's lots of bickering and so on.

Hi my name is Tami I am a displaced Alaskan living in the state of ND for now. I am a staunch Dr. Paul supporter. I was very encouraged to learn and read about DR. Paul's stand on the war on drugs/war on doctors. I am a board member and political activist of the Pain Relief Network. Ron Paul has some excellent articles on the subject and I would like to open this up for discussion as we are losing more and more physicians everyday to this unconstitutional witch hunt on our few remaining pain treating physicians and 79 million chronic apin patients.

"Pain Relief Network was founded in 2002 in response to the Bush Administration's crackdown on pain treating physicians. The Department of Justice launched its "Oxycontin Action Plan" in response to a DEA press campaign that asserted that Purdue Pharmaceuticals had unleashed an "epidemic" of drug abuse across the country, particularly in rural Appalachia (See The DEA’s OxyContin Action Plan: An Unproven Drug Epidemic).

Much like previous drug panics (See Agency of Fear: Opiates and Political Power in America), the Federal Government sought to frighten the public. Because this drug panic coincided with the launching of the Bush Administration's war in the Middle East, the campaign was highly successful.

Doctors who treated chronic or intractable pain with opioid pain medications were literally rounded up and put on trial, the government demanding that they serve decades, sometimes hundreds of years in prison. Medical professionals not yet targeted, responded by fleeing the discipline of pain management in droves. Clinics across America have become tertiary medical facilities of the federal apparatus, essentially operating at the whim of DEA. Behind the scenes, and sometimes out front,

PRN represents the solitary organized response to this onslaught."

We are a grassroots, non-profit organization. Looking forward to meeting new friends and fellow defenders of liberty.

Suppose I'll mozy over to the economics forum. Let's see how many crazy stares I can get...

p.s. Message boards with too many sub-forums scare me.

gold, frankincense, and myrrh are appropriate this time of year

 

[Kludge]

Wisdom and courage.

gaaa-aaay!

 

[Kludge]

gold, frankincense, and myrrh are appropriate this time of year

However, FRNs, cocaine, and glade candles are more appropriate for this time of existence.


Huh... Never realized just how short-sighted some of us are.

I ask because I was banned.

Unbanning me does not suffice as a welcome wagon.

Am I welcome?

It is, in my estimation, crunch time. On the whim of an individual, without warning, I could not access more than 20,000 Americans until March.

You tell me.

I DO have some pretty good ideas, y'know, even if I'm not lockstep with libertarians, some of whom -- between you, me and the lamp post -- are as Fringe in their Extremism as fanatics of other stripes.

Some of you think that because the Democrats are poised to be as big of fuck ups, differently, as the Republicans (Molly Ivers called it before she died) that, finally and completely, it'll be the world according to Ron Paul libertarians. And it won't.
