  1. What people seem to be missing is the FACT THAT, We Vote As American Citizens, to Elect As American Citizens, A President-Who Swears to Uphold The Constitutional Oath To Protect And Promise the Contract. Made To Us. No one seems to have paid attention to the ” back-door” Acts Of the Former Administration, and The One Before That, in which countless American Soldiers Died From A Fake War, Ultimately created to take Away our Rights. The Patriot Act Becomes The New American Freedom Act. Each proceeding President has Effectively Destroyed Our Hard Fought Constitution Based upon Secret Self-Serving LIES. EVERY DEVIATION FROM The Constitution, By ANY President, in which we As Americans Suffer and Are Reduced To Enduring Slave-Like And Barbaric Conditions Against which Our Rights Were established, need to Start Over, as this Corruption has had too long of a time to Brainwash us. We need to end it now. Choose our own Leaders, not those illegally BOUGHT. The Supreme Court Is Guilty in the unthinkable “Law” That A Corporation Has The Same RighRI As An Individual ? Is ludicrous

  2. Ummm,canarensis,I am fairly certain that the withdrawal of the US was designed to get the attn.of the world that The U.N.’human rights’is sorely lacking in doing their job,not dodge pain mngmt.issues or anything else medically related.As our Pres.Trump puts it,WE float most of the world’s bills,and he’s correct.sometimes hey need a glove slap to wake up.what’s depressing is that the 10 nation European alliance is already under way.Meaning that more and more govt.control will muscle into our lives.Mr.Trump may very well be one of the last that actually supports freedom.I’m terrified what will come after him.AND!note-the latest gig in Fla.is punks hanging out at pharmacies,casing who comes out.If it’s an older or infirm person w/bags from the pharm.they approach and pretend[or maybe NOT pretend]to have a gun or such,demand the pharm.bags,then haul ass.Many times on bicycles for expediency sake as preffered to a car.Goodbye!!!nice,huh?

    • Andrew;
      I respect & agree with many of your comments. But on the subject of Trump’s motives in withdrawing from the human rights group and his attitude toward our allies….I’m not going to go there, beyond saying “We have different views.”

      As for the criminals who case pharmacies, I loathe that kind of predator. I have seen several people post elsewhere that, in order to guard against short counts, we should insist on counting our pain meds right there at the pharmacy counter. I’ve always thought that was pretty much akin to hanging a sign around your neck saying “Hey, I’ve got drugs that people want on the street! Beat me up & steal them!” –not a good idea. Unfortunately, there are thugs everywhere & one has to be alert & aware.

      Tho somehow the image of a tough macho criminal type peddling madly away on a bike seems like something from a lame stoner comedy movie.

  3. Key paragraph:

    People needing pain relief, whether as part of palliative care or for chronic disease, injury, surgery, or labor may experience ill-treatment if their pain is severe enough and avoidable. Denial of pain relief is a pervasive problem among all of the populations discussed later
    in this briefing note: people with disabilities, women seeking reproductive health care, people living with HIV, people with tuberculosis, people who use drugs, sex workers, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) persons, and Roma. Denial of pain relief is also disturbingly common among children.

    • Mark; remember when they used to claim that babies couldn’t feel pain? I guess now it’s okay to acknowledge all sorts of people feel pain but it’s somehow more moral to actively promote suffering & torture of those in pain. What an incredibly screwed up situation.

  4. very interesting. Also very depressing that the good ole US of A just pulled out of the United Nations Human Rights Committee (didn’t they? I’m brain fogged at the moment). Even if we could get some of the power elite to actually read this, I suspect they’d just blow it off because it was written by those crooks/liars/I forget the particular epithets that got thrown at the HRC.

  5. Thought it wasa good read,,and a pretty accurate description of what our government is doing to us,,,They will not stop,,,until they are stopped by a lawsuit,,sadly,,maryw
