Cwash…you missed the boat on that completley….I’m saying it’s a good chance that the parents of the kids are jacked up on pills and quit giving a damn a long time ago.

To deny a terminal patient pain medication, for fear of addiction, is nonsensical, if not bordering on insanity. To deny pain medication for a chronic condition, for fear of addiction, also borders on insanity. If one needs medication in order to maintain a job, and remain a productive member of society, what harm is the addiction? (in Limpballs case society would probably benefit)
All of us with high blood pressure are dependent, for life, on medication. All of us with diabetes have a lifelong dependency on medication. Etc. Just because some republican asshole started a ‘war on drugs’, we with chronic pain are consigned to the trash heap, and told we must suffer because we may become dependent! Total BULLSHIT! The Medical profession should keep the hell out of politics, and damn well quit playing God.
But the subject was republicans buying votes with paving contracts, like DR. Ernest Lee did in Clark & Jessamine Counties just before the election. We digress.

Got in-laws from Mousie. Wonderful people, and very nice place.
Please explain how Pharmacology is concerned with refusing to educate our children? If you would care to enlighten us?

While this story happened 60-65 years ago….I found it interesting

My great grandfather was a fairly influential man in his small community of Mousie in Knott County. One of his neighbors was facing charges for refusing to send his kids to school. The school board, before arresting the man, asked my great-grandfather to go and reason with him. My great-grandfather talked to the man, and told him he was looking at jail time…but the man persisited, saying. “McKinley, I ain’t ever sending my kids to that school again. They’re tryin’ to teach them that the world is round!”

I’m guessing that the Pike County charges stem more from a dependancy on certain prescriptions than they do the philosophical differences my great-grandfather encountered. For the greater part of the last century, people with money and power have been trying to enslave the region: keep us poor, keep us uneducated. I’m afraid that the pharmaceutical companies may have prevailed where the coal companies failed.

For those who may think poking fun at Eastern Ky. Mannerisms, as in my post above, is a bit beyond the pale, consider the following.

This weeks hot topic in Eastern Ky. from The Appalachian News Express:

In Pike County, parents could face jail time for not sending their kids to school. What’s your opinion? E-mail your comments to jvanderbeck@news-expressky.com

A better question . Why should this even be a question for consideration in the 21st. Century?
