Bath Salts: This Is Not Your Grandpa’s Epsom Salts

In talking with some friends recently, I learned of a new drug that could have serious unintended consequences. In fact, it could be deadly.

 

While I realize I may be behind the curve of pop culture and “what’s going down” on the street as it were, I felt strongly compelled to spread the news about this threat.

What I’m talking about here are “Bath Salts.”

That’s right. But, this is not the mineral bath salts we add to our bath water to simulate the positive effects of bathing in a hot spring. Nope. This drug is a synthetic designer drug that has similar effects to those of cocaine or methamphetamine.

Pure Form Of Heroin Hitting Our Streets = Deaths

We have seen this before. Drug suppliers are letting a very pure form of heroin slip into the supply resulting in many overdose deaths. In my experience, this is sometimes the result of some Machiavellian scheme between drug lords or even nations in conflict. The result is that innocent people are killed. It is true that the victims are themselves committing a crime. However, their crime is one of self indulgence. It is true that they often resort to other crimes to finance their habit but they are still victims of murder. The intention behind letting the purer form of this illegal substance out is to produce deaths.

We should pray that those who are responsible for this act of murder are brought to justice and for an end to this madness. Then pray for those who are slaves to addiction may find help and salvation.

South Korea On Alert

It looks like North Korea actually did torpedo that South Korean ship last month. I can not imagine what the North Koreans are thinking. Now things are really heating up. Let us pray that this does not get out of hand and that the north’s evil regime is peacefully swept aside in favor of liberty.

The Washington Monument

This is a wonderful article that explains why our government is completely out of touch with its people. The problem is not that they do not understand; it’s that they can not understand. The article explains why.  Listed below are two excerpts from the article:

“But perhaps the most unremarked thing about the Tea Parties is that they’re not calling for a repeal of the Constitution but for its enforcement. They are the complete opposite of what Clinton thinks they are; an affirmation, not a call to create “a different country” that Clinton congratulates himself in attaining.”

“Yet politicians can’t see it. For perfectly natural reasons they fall into the habit of thinking everyone is a supplicant.”

The author quotes from J.R. Tolkiens, “Lord of the Rings” to help one understand the power that "power itself" has over those who rule.

“For he is very wise, and weighs all things to a nicety in the scales of his malice. But the only measure that he knows is desire, desire for power; and so he judges all hearts. Into his heart the thought will not enter that any will refuse it, that having the Ring we may seek to destroy it. If we seek this, we shall put him out of reckoning.”

LA Sheriff Tells His Troops to be MORE Careful

There seems to be some disagreement over the good Sheriff’s intention and how that will translate into effectiveness.

I agree with the Sheriff to a point. Nevertheless, being a cop is not a life that lends itself to caution. We need to be really honest about that. As a retired police officer I can attest to this from personal experience. There were times that I was too cautious and sometimes regrettable consequences followed. There were times that I foolishly threw caution to the wind and ended up coming out of it ok (probably by the grace of God in some instances and dumb luck in others.) I lost a friend and fellow officer when he was ambushed while conducting routine search. I will always feel the pain of that loss.
