[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am actually glad that this current crisis is listed as a "health" crisis and not a "criminal" one. A decade ago, if someone was on crack or an opiates, they would label them a criminal and throw them in jail. So the new tone is a good thing. Now I know the demographic reason why that tone changed, but I am still hopeful that this will be the tone of the discussion moving forward. [/quote] Yes, that's one of the positive things about our societal change away from criminalizing and/or neglecting the fringe populations. You can see it in how schools approach special education (good), how governments implement regulations on wheelchair access (good), even in the pet industry, how dogs and cats are elevated to human status when they weren't before (expensive surgeries, Halloween costumes, etc). I would say the one negative aspect is how parents treat their kids like special snowflakes :-) [/quote]
