No other word for this but tyranny
http://www.nationalreview.com/commen...0510240837.asp
Some infuriating excerpts include: [ QUOTE ] Ironically, the state of Florida now pays for a morphine pump connected to Paey's spine which delivers the same class of medication at the same doses the state of Florida told him wasn't necessary, and put him in prison for trying to obtain. [/ QUOTE ] and this gem: [ QUOTE ] Publicly, Paey's prosecutors have conceded that the 25-year sentence was excessive, yet they insist that Paey himself is to blame, citing his refusal to accept a plea agreement. The chilling implication: Paey is serving prison time for drug distribution not because he's guilty of actually distributing drugs — the state admits as much — but because he insisted on exercising his constitutionally-protected right to a jury trial. [/ QUOTE ] If you're not furious about the drug war yet, you are just ignorant. natedogg

Re: No other word for this but tyranny
Anyone know who appointed the judge? I'll put my money on Reagan or Bush or Bush.

Re: No other word for this but tyranny
There is now strong evidence that the state of Florida and prison officials retaliated against Paey for speaking with Tierney. Two weeks after the interview, Paey was moved to a prison facility more than two hours from his wife and family. He was then moved even farther away, some 170 miles, to the Tomoka Correctional Institution near Daytona Beach. Sympathetic prison officials, other inmates, and medical staff have since told Paey he was moved away from his family because the guard who sat in on his interview with Tierney had complained to prison authorities about what Paey had revealed to the journalist.
At about the same time, prison medical staff told Paey that the state of Florida had refused to give permission for them to refill his morphine pump. For Paey, this information was the equivalent of a death sentence. The state of Florida left him to agonize for weeks before finally authorizing the refill, the day before his pump was scheduled to run dry. Here again, Paey has since been given strong reason to believe that the threat to withhold his medication was in retaliation for relaying his story to the New York Times.

Re: No other word for this but tyranny
Seriously just gather up all your constitutionally mandated guns (sic), have your anti-government revolution already and stop bugging me about it. The army's stretched pretty thin nowadays.

Re: No other word for this but tyranny
This is outrageous but I don't think this falls under the "war on drugs" is screwed up category. It is more typical of what happens when people who have no idea about medicine try to make medical laws. A very screwed up situation indeed.

For whom the bell tolls
When they finally come for you, who will be there to help you?
The neo-conservatives (a political entity whose very existence is doubted by some in tbis forum!) have a specific and very malignant agenda. Almost all of that agenda needs Orwellian-scale misnomers to succeed, eg. "political freedoms", "fiscal conservatives", "liberal press", etc. So far, the neo-cons are batting 1.000 with it. And their enemies are effectively silenced, one by one.
