Severe prison time is one of the worst risks of drug use and addiction. It is also one of the most disturbing parts of the drug problem, as many addicts end up in jail for compulsive, addiction-related behaviors.

History offers us a myriad of lessons on drugs and addiction, yet most countries drug policies have nothing to do with these precedents. Most people today believe drug abuse, addiction, and related crimes to be purely modern issues.

I'd have to say that in general having frozen pipes is not a good thing. A few years ago I would have said that the only real benefits of ice that I knew of were having nice refreshing cold water to drink, and having some where to go skating. Strangely enough, my opinion changed completely when my husband and I were out shopping for a house.We'd been house shopping for months with no success. We'd put offers on a few houses, but we were always outbid, and we weren't in a financial situation where we felt comfortable investing more in a house than we had already decided on.Then one day we found a house for sale in a neighborhood that we were already impressed with. Our realtor wasn't with us so we couldn't go inside, but we did wander around a little bit peeking in the windows where we could.Pretty soon we heard a man's voice asking us if we had a real estate agent with us.

Parts of the...more
