Continuing Availability of Opioids

 

                From May 202 to April 21 there were an estimated 100,306 drug overdoses that resulted in death in the United States.  These are overdoses from illegal drugs or illegally trafficked prescription drugs.

                If we start counting from 1999 to the present day the United States has lost over 1 million Americans to drug overdose.

                These premature deaths but such vicious methods impact the family and friends of those who succumb very hard.  They have a destabilizing effect on the community in which they occur.  They cause a lack of confidence in their local governments and services such as medical and police.  not because they directly caused these deaths but because it is naturally believed by custom that these organizations are supposed to be trusted with protecting people.

                These deaths, though possibly expected after long periods of crisis are nonetheless unexpected and cause a great deal of turmoil.  Some of which can last a lifetime.

                Doctors are still prescribing opioids at high rates.  The companies that made and distributed pills by the billions have been sued in court but even the worst among them can take the cost of most fines, fees and judgments off of their taxes as a cost of doing business.

                Most drug dealers have no idea what they are selling.  For the few that do the culpability in these deaths is far greater but ignorance is no excuse for take advantage of smuggling that ultimately leads to incidents of rape, assault, murder and suicide, don’t you agree?

Strangers Among You

  Strangers Among You   By Alfred Brock   Introduction   This book talks about why migrants and immigrants are risking their lives to cross the border into the United States and become Americans.  It is a plain, simple telling of the Martinez family as they make their way from the countryside of Costa Rica to Detroit, Michigan.                 It is built, of course, upon the American dream and the American that exists in the United States of America.   More than that, however, it details the very real reasons people have for leaving their country to go to the United States.  Not enough people are aware that these people are leaving life and death situations.   They are coming from places that cannot be gone back to without a great deal of work and fixing.               ...

Extraños Entre Ustedes

  Extraños Entre Ustedes   Por Martin Estrella       Introducción Este libro habla sobre por qué los migrantes e inmigrantes arriesgan sus vidas para cruzar la frontera hacia Estados Unidos y convertirse en estadounidenses. Es un relato sencillo y directo de la familia Martínez mientras se abren camino desde el campo de Costa Rica hasta Detroit, Michigan. Por supuesto, está basado en el sueño americano y en la América que existe en los Estados Unidos de América. Sin embargo, detalla las razones muy reales que tienen las personas para abandonar su país y dirigirse a Estados Unidos. No hay suficiente conciencia de que estas personas están abandonando situaciones de vida o muerte. Vienen de lugares a los que no pueden regresar sin mucho esfuerzo y reparación. Por supuesto, el trabajo y la corrección de todo eso serían rentables para mucha gente, pero actualmente demasiadas personas en el mundo desarrollado tienen la impresión de que millones de per...
