Issue #1 For the Freedom to Choose Our Choices... Feb '94
|
||
==============================================================================
|
||
Introduction:
|
||
|
||
Hello! Congratulations for picking up Pekin's first politically
|
||
(in)correct (depending on how you look at it) publication. We at INHALE!
|
||
believe that each American should have the right to choose what he or she
|
||
wishes to do, independantly from another individual. We neither condone or
|
||
disagree with the use drugs. We agree that violence will change nothing and
|
||
only education on countless topics will benefit societies around the world.
|
||
A little introduction is in order; who I am, where I came from, and why
|
||
I believe in these principles. My name is Greg, and I am twenty years old. My
|
||
political thoughts started at what I consider to be a young age. I was about
|
||
twelve, living in a middle class home, with a loving family, and a computer.
|
||
I have to mention the computer, because this is where my political values
|
||
emerged.
|
||
It started one day when (don't you love stories that start that way?) I
|
||
bought a modem for my computer. A modem is something that translates computer
|
||
language to sounds that are fed through the phone lines to another computer
|
||
with a modem. Anyway, I started calling a few other computers (which are
|
||
called bulletin board systems or BBS for short). The more memorable one was
|
||
run by a guy called Whirlin' Dervish. He had the best BBS that I had ever
|
||
called. There were many files that dealt with the anarchist way of life. I
|
||
would get these files and pour over them for hours, trying to grasp the
|
||
meaning of what the authors had written. This made me think that there ARE
|
||
other ways of thinking other than what is socially acceptable.
|
||
Then there was the military at age seventeen. Thirteen weeks of boot camp
|
||
and two years in the national guard convinced me that there was definately
|
||
something wrong with the way the government thinks. It also made me wonder
|
||
how they could get away with so much waste and misuse of our tax dollars. It
|
||
just doesn't stop at the military though, as most of us know by the countless
|
||
times we have heard of scandals, under the table dealing, and general screw
|
||
ups by our wondrous government system.
|
||
Ever since these things in my life have happened, I haven't been the same
|
||
person. For the last four years, I have been refining my logic and my
|
||
opinions on things, of which you are about to read herein. My principles are
|
||
constantly being modified through education.
|
||
This is what we at INHALE! wish to offer you, education. You have a
|
||
right as an American citizen, to stand up and let your voice be heard. Believe
|
||
me when I say it does matter when you write your congressmen/woman as it does
|
||
show that you care about what goes on in this society based country we call
|
||
America.
|
||
With that, I can only offer these simple words of advice: Prepare for
|
||
tommorrow, but live today. Yesterday is history, and tommorrow may never come.

The ACLU Fights For Your Rights!
|
||
The American Civil Liberties Union is the nation's foremost advocate of
|
||
individual rights--litigating, legislating and educating the public on a broad
|
||
array of issues affecting individual freedom in the United States.
|
||
The mission of the ACLU is to assure that the Bill of Rights--amendments
|
||
to the Constitution that guard against unwarranted governmental control--are
|
||
preserved for each new generation. To understand the ACLU's purpose, it is
|
||
important to distinguish between the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The
|
||
Constitution itself, whose bicentennial we celebrated in 1987, authorizes the
|
||
government to act. The Bill of Rights limits that authority.
|
||
What rights are guaranteed in the Bill of Rights?
|
||
First Amendment rights: These include freedom of speech, association and
|
||
assembly, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion, including the strict
|
||
separation between church and state.
|
||
Equal protection of the law: The right to equal treatment regardless of
|
||
race, sex, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, age, physical
|
||
handicap, or other such classification.
|
||
Due process of law: The right to be treated fairly when facing criminal
|
||
charges or other serious accusations that can result in such penalties as loss
|
||
of employment, exclusion from school, denial of housing, or cut-off of
|
||
benefits.
|
||
The right to privacy: The right to a guaranteed zone of personal privacy
|
||
and autonomy which cannot be penetrated by the government or by other
|
||
institutions, like employers, with substantial influence over an individual's
|
||
rights.
|
||
Expanding those protections: Although some segments of our population have
|
||
traditionally been denied those rights, the ACLU works to extend protection to
|
||
racial minorities, homsexuals, mental patients, prisoners, soldiers, children
|
||
in custody of the state, the handicapped, and Native Americans.
|
||
The ACLU address is on page 8.

|
||
Be NORML!
|
||
NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, demands
|
||
that marijuana be decriminalized for medical, industrial, and personal uses.
|
||
NORML lobbies in congress as well as individual politicians for these personal
|
||
choices.
|
||
NORML demands that marijuana be available to all those who are in pain,
|
||
have nausea from drug therapy, have problems controlling seizures, who have had
|
||
eye surgeries, and many other purposes.
|
||
The stated purpose of marijuana prohibition is suppression of both use and
|
||
dissent. Prohibition thrives on division, because a people divided against
|
||
themselves cannot stand in opposition to tyranny.
|
||
Resistance to marijuana prohibition must be based on forging coalitions
|
||
and demonstrating common ground with our fellow citizens.
|
||
Now entering it's third decade, NORML has been America's leading and most
|
||
visible opponent of marijuana prohibition.
|
||
Marijuana prohibition is an expensive failure in which citizens are forced
|
||
to pay taxes to finance the erosion of their liberty.
|
||
You can help by joining NORML, and by encouraging others to do the same. A
|
||
one year membership in NORML is $25, and includes a subscription to the NORML
|
||
quarterly newspaper. Send your membership dues to:

||
Wilt Does It Again
|
||
The sphinctor of the month column will feature our personal choice for
|
||
the person that displays fascism, bungles things beyond the normal realm of
|
||
bungleness, or just outright displays ignorant behavior.
|
||
This months choice happens to be a fellow by the name of Jack Wilt.
|
||
Which on the same token, happens to be the superintendant of dist. 303. As
|
||
most of us know, he really screwed things up this time.
|
||
The actual offense is censorship. Mr. Wilt took it upon himself to
|
||
decide that certain letters to the editor were racial and offensive. What he
|
||
actually did was far worse than being racist in my opinion.
|
||
Not only did he violate the reporter's 1st. Amendment by taking away
|
||
freedom of the press, but also took the rights of the writer away also. I
|
||
realize that the paper is actually a publication of the school, but tell me
|
||
what kind of a picture this would make to a young junior who might just be
|
||
getting into journalism and decided that the school paper might be a good
|
||
place to start. This could take away that person's chance of ever reporting on
|
||
what he or she would really want to report on. Essentially, very little, if
|
||
any, faith in the 1st. Amendment could occur.
|
||
The way the Pekinois is set up is just like a real newpaper, with an
|
||
editor in chief and a chain of command. There is an advisor there that is also
|
||
the journalism teacher. It's set up to be a pretty good simulation of what
|
||
working on a real paper is supposed to be like. Wilt's choice to pull the
|
||
paper, displays a real lack of (there are a million words that could be used
|
||
here) judgement regarding the realism of the school paper experience. Isn't he
|
||
the one that should be sticking up for the cirriculum of the school?
|
||
If one was to get techinical about things, one could say that Wilt
|
||
himself was inflicting racial damage by pulling the paper. The surrounding
|
||
media snatched the opporutunity to make another racial shot at Pekin. If left
|
||
alone no one except the people that read the paper would've even known that
|
||
anything racial had been written. Now, to most people, the situation looks as
|
||
if Pekin is just as racist as ever, with the superintendant just trying to
|
||
make the school look like they are cracking down on racism when they've done
|
||
nothing to actually help releive it.
|
||
One should keep in mind that this was a letter to the editor. Therefore
|
||
completely editorial. Everyone knows that an editorial is based on one
|
||
person's, or the opinion of a group of people. Also, how hard could it have
|
||
been to just make the editors put a disclaimer at the top of the page, saying
|
||
something to the effect of: 'The views of writers of a letter to the editor is
|
||
not the opinion of this school or any other faculty member at this school.' ?
|
||
A few last comments about this.
|
||
I was reading the Times the other day, and I did see a letter to the editor
|
||
from a lawyer for the Peoria chapter of the ACLU. In it, he too saw that
|
||
pulling the paper was wrong. He too wrote about what kind of example was
|
||
being set by the superintendant.
|
||
One final comment. The advisor to the Pekinois, Diana Peckham, should be
|
||
commended for her part in this fiasco. She gave the students working on the
|
||
paper the choice to go ahead with putting the articles in or not. Thank you
|
||
Diana for making the right decision. Too bad there aren't that many more of
|
||
people like you on the faculty at PCHS.

Freedom Fighter Of the Month
|
||
This is INHALE!'s freedom fighter of the month column. Unlike High
|
||
Times's freedom fighter, you dont have to go to jail to be in ours, proving
|
||
that expressing your ideas won't get you behind bars ALL of the time. This
|
||
month's freedom fighter of the month is Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, who
|
||
proposed that legalization of drugs should be studied to reduce violence. She
|
||
raised several important points, and was quickly rebuffed by the Clinton
|
||
administration.
|
||
Elders was right about drug legalization; the war on drugs is a fiasco, a
|
||
disaster, and does nothing except to make the streets less safe, taxes much
|
||
higher, and the plight of drug users much worse. In the 1920's and 1930's,
|
||
alcohol prohibition only led to more gang violence and mobster crime. The
|
||
gangster era finally ended when prohibition was ended and alcohol became
|
||
relegalized. We must realize that it's time to legalize marijuana and let
|
||
people take responsibility for their own actions. It is clear that drug
|
||
prohibition has resulted in too much violence and the current "war on drugs"
|
||
has not helped the problem. We should be concentrating on education efforts
|
||
rather than interdiction. Also, the war on drugs is dangerous in that it
|
||
"allows" government to seize people's property without a trial by jury. Drug-
|
||
related seizures have taken place against innocent people who had no drugs.
|
||
Unfortunately, it looks like not too many people in tho government agree
|
||
with her. (Suprise) President Bill Clinton pubically rebuffed her suggestion.
|
||
She did not even propose a plan for the decriminalization of drugs; she merely
|
||
suggested that drug use be further studied. Yet, the GOP is now calling for
|
||
her resignation. Bill put his tail between his legs and panicked that Elders
|
||
would dare raise the issue, even parenthetically. He basically told her that
|
||
nice girls should be seen (and photographed by the press) and not heard. He
|
||
may think that she's a nice girl, but don't nice girls have some brains behind
|
||
their mouth? His behavior was shameful. This is one more sign of a floundering
|
||
administration.
|
||
A poll taken seems to show that the Surgeon General is not alone. Out of
|
||
61,000 respondants, 53% say legalizing drugs might reduce crime. This means
|
||
that more in this poll sided with Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders' view that
|
||
legalizing drugs could make America a safer place than with President Clinton,
|
||
who said the costs would outweigh the benefits. His view was, however, backed
|
||
by those in his own age group--45 and up. Younger respondents and men and
|
||
women, as well as respondents from all US regions, are more likely to agree
|
||
with Dr Elders. I think its time for the younger generation of Americans to
|
||
take a stand. Only by searching for the truth by ourselves will we be able to
|
||
escape what is being covered up.
|
||
This is just one more example of how today's government tries to keep
|
||
people quiet whenever they challenge what the government has decided is the
|
||
truth. I chose Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders as Freedom Fighter of the Month
|
||
because without becoming completely revolutionary, she did what she could to
|
||
try to change America for the better. I commend her for reccomending drugs to
|
||
be legalized to reduce violence, and I am shocked at the reaction people had to
|
||
her ideas. This is proof that it will be up to us to help support movements to
|
||
get our agenda passed. If you agree with us, that Surgeon General Joycelyn
|
||
Elders had a great idea, feel free to write her office and tell her you suport
|
||
her. Her office's address is on page 8.

|
||
A Call To Cease-Fire
|
||
Here are nine things that could be the key to ending the war on drugs:
|
||
|
||
1. Stop talking about winning the drug wars. In the broadest sense,
|
||
there is no way to win because we cannot make the drugs or their abusers go
|
||
away. Our goal should be to fashion methods of living peacefully with drugs
|
||
that create the least possible harm for users and their nonusing neighbors.
|
||
|
||
2. Recognize that the line between illegal and legal drugs is a historic
|
||
accident based primarily upon emotion rather than science. All drugs--including
|
||
alcohol, heroin, tobbacco, marijuana, and many others--are
|
||
dangerous. Yet, all can be used by people in nonharmful ways.
|
||
|
||
3. Start thinking about drugs and users in new ways. Start thinking
|
||
drugpeace instead of drug war. Think of users as potentially nice neighbors,
|
||
not evil criminals intent on robbing you because the drugs they take drive
|
||
them crazy.
|
||
|
||
4. Protect the sick from the ravages of the drug war. If they are ill and
|
||
suffering from diseases such as cancer or glaucoma, then heroin and marijuana
|
||
should be made available to them by prescription. If suffering from the
|
||
disease of addiction, they should have available non-cost rehabilitation
|
||
programs. If they are injecting addicts, they should be provided with clean
|
||
needles.
|
||
|
||
5. Demand of addicts in return that they live productive and noncriminal
|
||
lives. Thus the social contract we make will be legal drugs in return for
|
||
legal, loving lives.
|
||
|
||
6. Protect society from the ravages of the drug war--from criminal
|
||
traffickers, from criminal drug addicts, and from criminal policemen. Large
|
||
scale, hard drug traffickers should be locked up. The same thing goes for
|
||
addicts that repeatedly break laws. Policemen who grossly misconduct
|
||
themselves should be put in prisons and jails with no special treatment
|
||
letting them out after a short term.
|
||
|
||
7. Provide low cost treatment of all kinds as often as needed to
|
||
addicts. A good network of treatment experts and facilities that meet the
|
||
individual needs of each addict is also needed.
|
||
|
||
8. Trim the criminals out of the drug-treatment business. Many of our
|
||
leading experts, including prestigious physicians, are abusing and stealing
|
||
from the public by locking people up needlessly and charging obscene fees.
|
||
These medical jackals must be controlled and only the best elements must be
|
||
encouraged to step in and help the addict.
|
||
|
||
9. Convince the police that they are among it's saddest victims of the
|
||
drug war and that they should be in the leadership role of the reform
|
||
movement. In that role, they can be very effective.

|
||
Are You Being Watched?
|
||
|
||
"HEY! What about my rights?" you ask. Uhh, guess what--you don't have
|
||
that many left. After all this talk about the 200th anniversary of the Bill
|
||
of Rights in 1990, the Fourth Amendment means next to nothing if you have a
|
||
job in the private employer domain, which is where most Americans work. As
|
||
soon as you walk through their doors, you're not protected by the Bill of
|
||
Rights. This means if you find out that they are recording and/or monitoring
|
||
your phone calls, there is little you can do about it except ask them to
|
||
stop. This is only possible if you know it's going on, which you probably
|
||
won't. The increased anxiety on the part of employers concerning substance
|
||
abuse in the workplace has increased on-the-job surveillance. This can mean
|
||
anything from monitoring and/or recording phone calls to having undercover
|
||
cops put in the workplace.
|
||
A former police detective who now heads a company that deals in
|
||
undercover operations and drug education, explained to me how it works. "We
|
||
go in and we evaluate the situation as an independant source," he said.
|
||
"Management might have recieved anonymous tips, gotten complaints from other
|
||
employees, or maybe they've found paraphenalia out on the floor and all of a
|
||
sudden they start seeing increased absenteeism and low productivity hampering
|
||
the quality of their product. They suspect that something is taking place
|
||
that they can't see during day-to-day activities. So what we do is provide a
|
||
credible investigator, who then becomes the eyes and ears of the corporation,
|
||
recording everything he sees and hears."
|
||
An American Civil Liberties Union attorney has this to say on the topic
|
||
of undercover investigation in the workplace: "The practice is becoming more
|
||
and more common. It harkens back to company spies, Pinkertons, and now
|
||
in-store detectives. It's very problematic. It's not regulated by the
|
||
Constitution at all. It's a very dangerous practice and it has the same
|
||
characteristics as drug testing. Confidences you would share in the workplace
|
||
are not necessarily ones you would want your employer to overhear, and
|
||
although they say that they only give the employer drug-related information,
|
||
there's no way to know."
|
||
Employees in the public sector (ie: government employees) are better off
|
||
than private sector employees because supposedly the government has to adhere
|
||
to the Bill of Rights and people who work for Uncle Sam are therefore
|
||
protected by the Fourth Amendment. Distressingly, this is changing as the
|
||
rules are bent in the case of public sector employees who are "responsible for
|
||
public safety."
|
||
In two recent cases, the majority court held that urine tests are
|
||
searches but, in the case of these particular employees (customs guards and
|
||
railroad workers) testing was allowed without probable cause on the ground
|
||
that their Fourth Amendment rights were outweighed by the government's
|
||
interest in maintaining a drug-free workplace.
|
||
The new bi-partisan bill called the Borne-Hatch Bill is being sold
|
||
as a new way to regulate lab standards. What it really does is remove any
|
||
threat of an employer from being sued by an employee in the future. Already,
|
||
most law suits brought by employees against employers in relation to drug
|
||
testing have been lost, but some have been won. Removing that small threat of
|
||
retaliation will only open the flood gates for more random testing.
|
||
Ultimately, drug testing is being used as an excuse to take away all of
|
||
our freedoms and create a chemical police state. If you and the people you
|
||
know don't stop it, who will?

|
||
|
||
--Writers note:
|
||
While watching the Dr. Dean Edell show one time, there was a story of a
|
||
woman being fired from a company because a random drug test showed she had
|
||
NICOTINE in her blood! The company has an anti-smoking policy which includes
|
||
smoking at home. They escorted her out the door and fired her.
|
||
Sad but true.... Big brother is here, just not always in big government
|
||
but in big business as well.

|
||
Have You Sold Your Political Values?
|
||
|
||
If you have picked up this newsletter and are still reading it, you have
|
||
probably, like a bunch of other people, figured out that most of what you have
|
||
been told your whole life is basically a big pack of lies, brought to you by
|
||
the joy of government propaganda. Like a crowd of other people, you are ready
|
||
and willing to reform/rebel against what you are forced to put up with. There
|
||
is one mistake that you must be careful not to make, some if not most people
|
||
already have. That mistake is losing sight of what is important, the real goal
|
||
of achieving change/rebellion.
|
||
Too many people and groups that want change get caught up in games.
|
||
Immature people that walk around saying, "I'm an elite anarchist!" and they
|
||
start insulting and fighting with people that have a slightly different
|
||
viewpoint is what we're talking about. They then become majorly screwed
|
||
individuals that don't do anything good because they spend a majority of their
|
||
time and energy arguing against those on the same side. Instead they should be
|
||
uniting against the government that has left them with a rotten earth, tries
|
||
to divide them through lies, and has oppressed them.
|
||
For the most part it is fairly easy to tell which side a person is on. Do
|
||
they sit around unaware of what is going on in the world around them? Do they
|
||
calmly accept that the government is right and set with thier fake morals
|
||
wrapped around them? Or have they become WILLING FOR CHANGE? It isn't all that
|
||
HARD to realize that if one is up against the government, fighting against
|
||
others on the same side is a real pointless and asinine thing to do.
|
||
Stay out of the ego wars. Join the SCA, the GA, or GreenPeace. There are
|
||
many groups fighting together for a common cause. Join one of these groups.
|
||
Remember, that only by uniting, taking refuge among ourselves, and taking
|
||
advantage of the opporutunity to stand out, not only up, can we make change.
|
||
We must belong to what we create. We must not make the same mistakes of those

|
||
rise anew free of what hinders us if we are to survive.
