Nicotine, Milk And KibbleBy JGillman, Section News
For about 5 years the Pavlovian expectation of a cigarette followed every meal.
In about 11 months, I celebrate my 20th anniversary of being tobacco free. In the first 5 years of that, it was a fight to stay off the nicotine, and the body and mind played tricks to try and get me puffing again. Stress, the after dinner reach for a pack, drive time, all of those things I thought of as pleasurable for so long, reached up from the depths often, in order to regain its hold over me. Its hold from a time when I was its slave, and it was my benevolent master. As long as I fed it, the habit made me relax for a time, and I was allowed to live in my skin. Some folks have compared tobacco addiction to that of heroin, or other narcotics. Others, to its oft used partner, alcohol. Though I have never experienced the withdrawal effects of those, I believe I understand them as a result of having had been a smoker for well over a decade. The 'habit' was more than that. It was an unchangeable lifestyle; a daily thing that demanded my attention, or the consequences would be hellish. There is a drug that is worse however. And it won't be your body or mind reminding you how bad its going to be without it. It will be active little monsters who also get a high from it, and want you hooked for as long as it takes for THEM to live THEIR lives. Continued below.
Its bad enough for some people to have to saddle up to government milk. Its bad enough that the teat is running dry, and we all know it, but when the milkman has to resort to scaring you into priming the pump, we should wonder where our dignity has gone off to cower and hide. Addiction to other people's money is as hard as tobacco to overcome however.
The sequester, as we have heard from the
Down to even the most remote In Traverse City, its the rent pimp.
Ilah O. Honson, the executive director of the Traverse City Housing Commission tweaks the
"As you may have heard, the Federal Government entered sequestration on March 1, 2013. You may be asking yourself, what does sequestration have to do with my participation in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program? The answer is, a lot. .." Yeah. In case you low information types and plantation owners didn't hear it from the master misanthrope himself, "you are going to lose it all." You won't have a place to live because you are too stupid, feeble, unlucky, or unable to manage your tenement business without a subsidy to cope.
Because you haven't provided enough distraction for the rent pimp's financial extraction: ".. We anticipate that funding information will be available by March 27, 2013. In accordance with our Section 8 Administrative Plan, if our funding falls below the HAP funding we received in February 2013, we may have to terminate participants from the Section 8 HCV program. So call Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow because they like to hear these stories. It makes them even more energized to take one persons finances to give to another. Call that reticent congressman Benishek, and demand he fills your dog food bowl with kibble until your tail is wagging with the satisfaction of another night in your self made paradise. You go and beg for your fix. Get your share of Obama stash. There are government jobs that depend on it.
