I caught you knocking at my cellar door
I know some of you are thinking all I like to do is bag on mormons, but if they didn't keep giving fuel I wouldn't add it to the fire. Really, google or youtube this story. A few weeks ago there was an 18 and over party at a place called Fiesta Fun Center here in St George UT. This was a non alcoholic event (of course) but the cops still came and shut it down because they did not have a permit to dance. It made national news and SNL even did a skit about it. So now that you know when I say I am living amongst very tiny minds you can believe me. But now to see who is at the cellar door.
As I had mentioned before, second only to the lds church, Utahs biggest problem is prescription medicine addiction. The doctors are pez dispensers lacking in concern and/or insight. Last Tuesday I was on my way to Mc D's to use the wifi. My friend and neighbor Tony asked if he could catch a ride. I went and used the internet and he hit the pharmacy, made our way back home and life went on. Four hours later I hear sirens in the distance that proceeded to get louder and louder. Then I saw lights flashing thru the blinds. I peeked thru a couple slats and saw a police car, two ambulances, and a fire truck. As I looked down I saw my old neighbor Brayden standing on the sidewalk. I stepped out onto the porch and asked him what was going on. "Tonys gone" was his response.
Tony had come out here about six months ago to kick heroin. He had succeeded and was working as a Mercedes mechanic and granite counter top installer. About five weeks ago he developed kidney stones, went to the doctor and was given scripts of morphine and Demerol, a common solution but usually kept in the hospital under observation. Any doctor worth his degree would be able to discern just thru a five minute interview that this man had issues. Add to that his arms which were still scarred with track marks and its a no brainer. Then after passing the kidney stones he some how managed to get another prescription, this time for kolonopin and aderol!? a combination that is essentially a pharmaceutical speedball of which I am pretty sure is the cause of death. Still no autopsy done. As much as it was his choice to use these drugs in a lethal manner no doctor dealing out such things should keep his license or his freedom. Just trying to remember if Michael Jackson's doctor avoided prison time. It makes me wonder if this doctor will notice that he is no longer getting visits from Tony. Or will he just pat himself on the back as a miracle worker?
This small minded mentality of these Utah mother fuckers "its legal" is old. No, its bullshit pig headedness hide behind the temple walls hypocrisy. Jesus said you can tell a tree by the fruit it produces. We need to pick a few of the bananas and then chop that tree down. The funny thing is at last months semi annual conference there was an outcry from church members that their leaders are out of touch. Talk about a house divided. Truly the reason most of the mormons here in St George are still with the church is because they are to weak to go out on their own.(in my opinion) They go to church but don't live by the principles of the church, staying only to keep their social/business connections/status. It is disrespectful to those decent people who adhere to the faith and live accordingly by it to remain clinging to its branches. It is also wrong on the part of the church to see so many of these people and allow them to remain in the church. But if you were to lose 50% of those giving 10% how do you not go bankrupt? I hear that so frequently, "Keep tithing and you will receive blessings". Makes me wonder what that BYU qb who had his leg snapped earlier in the season had been doing.
Just to clarify or muddle things, I had lunch with a mormon today, and went to Tony's memorial service at the house of another yesterday. I hate groups, love individuals...whether you want to believe it or not. The memorial was great. I'll tell you about it later.

Salt Lake Sinners
I don't know if any of you got to catch the episode of DRUGS INC on the Nat Geo channel, but it is very insightful when it comes to the mormon mind set. The fraudulence is even greater here in St George where there is less of a secular population. Essentially when it come to drugs this is what their actions say....If men make it we will take it, if the Creator creates it we'll create laws and forsake it. Joseph Smith would puke up his mushrooms if he knew what was going on.
