Proof The World is Crazy

They say we are losing the war on drugs. No wonder! When you take away all of the amunition, it is difficult to win any war.

Recently a man was foud unconscious behind the wheel of his car at an intersection. While searching the Jeep Cherokee for any clues why this might have happened, the police came across crack cocaine. In case you don't know, this drug is illegal.

Well, it seems as if finding the cocaine in this manner has breached the man's constitutional rights. Why are we protecting the criminals? When I cross the border, customs officers can check my car for drugs. What's the difference? I can understand why our police officers sometimes get pretty frustrated with the legal system. They do their best to make our society safer, yet they have to put up with decisions like this. It is as if they are made to look like the bad guy, not the person who is in possession of an illegal drug.

I wonder what the response of the judge would have been if the police officer had found explosives instead of drugs. Perhaps many innocent people could have been killed without the discovery, but that doesn't matter. It is more important for the criminal to be protected. When are we going to get it right? The answer seems to be never. Read on.

A man has a gambling problem. He has joined a self-exclusion program that allows gamblers to sign a form granting casinos and racetrack staff to use their best efforts to bar or remove them if they are caught inside. Well, it seems as if they didn't catch this man and he blew about $350,000 in a four-year period.

Who's fault is this? Apparently it is the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation's. This man is suing them for - get this - $3.5 BILLION! I think Dennis, the name of this person, has another problem. It is called lack of taking responsibility for his own actions.

I have not led a perfect life. I have made mistakes. I have dealt with them and tried my best to correct them. The only way I could have grown through these episodes is admitting to them. As long as I am in denial of my part in the process and claiming resposibility for my actions, I am powerless.

I wonder what Dennis will do if he wins his $3.5 billion? Probably go put some money on the horses. And why not? He will have won his jackpot and his luck will be on a roll.
