The blood that has been shed

in the name of God could fill

oceans. Yet, man still clings

to the idea of an all knowing

all loving and all seeing spir-itual entity. Why, in the face

of all that has been wrought

in faiths name, is this the

case?

Religion is not about what

man has portrayed it to be. It

is mans acknowledgement

that he/she is not alone. That

death is not the end. Mans

perpetual fear of non-

existence, just is one of thecentral driving forces, for the

staying power of religion.

Another is the ability of reli-

gious principles to guide soci-

ety when things seem as

though they are lost.

Since man was hiding in

caves he has looked to the

heavens and thought of some-

thing greater than him/her

self. There has been an in-stinctual drive toward wor-

ship of a deity, or idol. It has

been ingrained in our society

and in our psyche. There has

been a debate between sci-

ence and religion for as long

as man has examined his sur-

roundings and the first criti-

cal thought was expressed.

The age old question of Why

are we hear? has been pon-

dered and mulled over for

generations, and yet with all

the advancements of humani-

ty and thousands of years of

evolution, the answer still

eludes us. Sure there are

philosophical assumptions,

but nothing in the way of

concrete evidence. Through-

out history there are innu-

merable examples of the abil-

ity of religion to divide and

isolate certain segments of

the population. There have

been religious implications in

almost every war ever fought.

Every once in awhile we like

to keep readers aware of the

current situation regarding

laws and policies that effect

us all by restricting or out-

right denies us of our liberty.

In todays political climate

there is more and instances of

laws being signed into exist-

ence through what are

known as Signing State-

ments

This is when the President of

the United States makes a

proclamation that changes or

modifies a law. With out ever

having to involve congress or

the people, any law that the

President wants to change, he

can with the force of office. In

several cases this has proven

to be at the loss of our liberty

as citizens. Obama promised

he would never use them. He

has signed 56 Statements.

Although religion can be-

come an obsession to those

that are desperate for anoutside force to somehow

magically give them material

goods, or fix their broken

lives. In most cases it merely

provides a source of comfort

and tranquility sorely need-

ed in all of our lives. It is

when we look to God to

take away our short com-

ings that we end up disap-

pointed and confused.

When we realize that after

faithful prayer and adher-

ence to the principles of ourchosen faith, that we are

still left with the very same

person we started with.

There is a very good reason

for that. God, it seems, does

not fix people. Nor does

he/she/it make us rich or

good looking. He doesnt

augment our character or

make us popular. I have

never seen anyone who be-

came a better person do it

through prayer alone. Faith

can do wonderful things forsome people. It allows them

to compartmentalize their

life and gain some measure

of peace.

That measure is why, In my

opinion that we do still re-

quire the spiritual aspect of

our lives. Is that spirit nec-

essarily embodied in reli-

gion? That is for you to de-

cide for yourself.

people every week are either brought

in by Ambulance, or dropped off at

the ER entrance. The staff has been

known to find overdose victims

unconscious on the bench out front

of the ER entrance. It is extremely

dangerous to leave someone that is

overdosing on opiates at the front

entrance because we dont have a lineof sight out there. They could end up

being there for as long as an hour

with no medical attention, and in

those cases time is everything. The

quicker we can get the patient into

the emergency room to be treated the

better. Says; a long time nurse prac-

titioner.

Despite recent residential raids by

the Jefferson Metropolitan Drug Task

Force, there has been a rise in Emer-

gency Room admissions of Heroin

and/or Opiate overdoses. In a study

done by the National Institute of

Drug Abuse, The number of known

drug addicts in Watertown has risen

from 10.5% in 1998 to 13% in 2009.(thats 13% of a population that is

roughly 30,000/ or 3900 addicts in

Watertown. But that only takes into

account those that are known. If you

include the users that not known the

number is much higher)

Note from the Editor

In researching some of the stories this week, Iunfortunately was confronted with a lot of

opposition. I made a lot of phone calls, did a

lot of digging and was able to come up with the

material that I needed. However, there are

certain professional persons (that I wont

name, right now anyway.) that intentionally

withheld public information. For what reason,

is beyond me. Never the less, the information

was found and is now ready for your perusal.

Thank you once again for all your support
