Starrett only knows white addicts - so therefore people of color are it affected by addiction. Well okay then. It sure would be great to hear common sense in the BOC at some point. Any. At all. The bar is REAL low…

"… Some of the language in this stuff, frankly, it’s absurd because everything has that DEI component to it to where everything is now, you know, we’re pulling the race card on every single social ill and I don’t think it is legitimately justifiable,” Starrett said.


Well put.

The fundamental problem faced by the BOC:

Agree that 2 + 2 = 5 to get the money.

Which reflects the ongoing assault on Western society.

While Western empathy suggests the expedient of signing the contract.


Signing with the stated objections in the record seems reasonable.

Then the BOC can proceed according to 2 + 2 = 4.

" Die Gedanken sind frei " (Thoughts are free)


I would have supported the BOC had they refused to sign the contract.

But perhaps such a fight is indeed best reserved where the people that

stand to suffer the physical consequences are less vulnerable.

Always good to go back and read the declaration of independence now and then:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

We are all free, rational beings in this world. All of us are worthy of dignity and respect. Equal dignity and respect.

Starrett is a shining example of why Oregon continues to rank high in addiction and low in addiction services. Every time she speaks on the subject her lack of knowledge on the subject is evident. Is there no one else on the BOC that has a voice? Is there no one else on the BOC that actually cares about being proactive in the fight against addiction?
