The real gateway drug

Good article. My folks prepared for the wrong death. My step dad has had heart issues since the late 90's, which modern medicine has thankfully nearly negated. But that's what they thought would kill him, so all they're plans focused around cardiac care - the retirement home they picked was close to the hospital, staffed for physical care, blah blah blah. Then he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. All the plans they made went out the window. Currently my 95 pound 84 y/o mother is caring for a perpetual 3 y/o 24/7. She refused going into a different home that had memory care until she realized it needed to be done, and now he refuses to even consider moving, and she doesn't want to upset him. It sucks all the way around.

1of5 comments on Mar 26, 2019:

I didn't read the post your referencing, so forgive me if I cover something addressed there. To me the teachers were earning above their pay by showing their students that getting involved can shape policy and that their voice matters. We'd call that civics down here, which needs to be taught a lot more throughout the educational process. Comparing this to Nazi indoctonazation is pretty egregious IMO. Not sure how BC pays their teachers, but in the US it's a whole separate revenue stream from oil pipelines, and if it's also that way up there than your being less than honest about how to pay them and the economic benefits from said pipeline. Pipelines are also fairly hard on the environment, and can do an awful lot of damage if not designed and maintained properly. Also, if you want people to listen to you quit taking potshots just because you don't like what they said. As far as I can tell you've said a few stupid things yourself.
