Question by Smarty: I heard a sad story today regarding England hero Paul Gascoigne:?
He has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act, couple this with the demons he continues to battle on a daily basis as he fights against alcoholism and you’ve got an icon who has reached rock bottom.

He lives and breathes football and I beleive his talent and influence could still be used in a positive manner somewhere in the game.

I appreciate a Chairman offering him a managerial post is high risk … But i’d love to see the English FA provide him with the opportunity to coach various academies up and down the country – It has to be the best form of rehabilitation!!

What do you think of Gazza’s plight … Should the FA take some responsibility and look after one of their greatest ever players ??

Best answer:

He’d have a wife to look after him if he didn’t… well, you know…………….

Ron Paul on Drug Legalization

March 4, 2010 - 11:07 pm 3 Comments


1988 Ron Paul contends that prohibition of drugs is ineffective and advocates ending the War on Drugs. “Prohibition doesn’t work. Prohibition causes crime.” He believes that drug abuse should be treated as a medical problem, “We treat alcoholism now as a medical problem and I, as a physician, think we should treat drug addiction as a medical problem and not as a crime.” The Constitution does not enumerate or delegate to Congress the authority to ban or regulate drugs in general. He believes the war on drugs is a racist policy against African Americans, who are affected disproportionally. Paul believes in personal responsibility, but also sees inequity in the current application of drug enforcement laws, noting in 2000, “Many prisoners are non-violent and should be treated as patients with addictions, not as criminals. Irrational mandatory minimal sentences have caused a great deal of harm. We have non-violent drug offenders doing life sentences, and there is no room to incarcerate the rapists and murderers.” When asked about his position on implementing the tenth amendment, Paul explained, “Certain medical procedures and medical choices, I would allow the states to determine that. The state law should prevail not the Federal Government.” Speaking specifically about Drug Enforcement Administration raids on medical marijuana clinics Paul said, “They’re unconstitutional,” and went on to advocate states’ rights and personal choice: “You’re not being compassionate by taking medical marijuana from someone who’s suffering from cancer or AIDS …. People should have freedom of choice. We certainly should respect the law and the law says that states should be able to determine this.”
