I LOVE MINNESOTA AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE ...
BUT GOD BLESS THEM, GIVE MINNESOTANS A CHANCE TO SLAP A LABEL ON SOMEONE AND TADA ... THERE THEY SIT, ANOTHER VICTIM TO BE PROTECTED.
FORTUNATELY I HAD THE PRIVELEDGE OF BEING RELATED TO A MINNESOTA GOVERNMENT ATTORNEY AND WAS INTRODUCED TO MANY OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE PEOPLE OF THIS FINE STATE.
THE PROBLEM WAS, THAT AT LEAST IN 2 COUNTIES, THE PUBLIC SERVANTS WERE NOT SO HAPPY WITH WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
THEY SPENT SO MUCH TIME ATTENDING LECTURES AND EMPLOYMENT-REQUIRED EDUCATION EVENTS, THAT THEY COULD HARDLY KEEP UP WITH ALL THE NEW AND CURRENT (LABELS).
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU AND I IS THAT IF YOU BECOME DISABLED, ADDICTED OR, TOO TIMID,SOMEONE MIGHT BECOME WORRIED OR TIRED OF YOU AND TELL SOMEONE ELSE ABOUT THEIR CONCERN FOR YOUR SAFETY.
MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD AT LEAST ONE DISABILITY AND SOME MINOR BRAIN DAMAGE EVER SINCE I WAS A KID...
THE MEDICINE I TAKE MAKES ME SLOW AND AFFECTS MY MEMORY.
9 TO 5 WORK IS HARD TO FIND AND I HAVE HAD MANY EMPLOYMENT REJECTIONS. THINGS HAD BECOME SO BAD IN OUR ECONOMY OF DEBT IN THE UNITED STATES THAT I (AND MANY OTHER MINNESOTANS) DECIDED TO RENT OUT A BEDROOM FOR INCOME.
WELL, I MADE THE MISTAKE OF RENTING A ROOM TO AN INDIVIDUAL THAT SAID HE CARED FOR HIS FATHER FOR A LONG TIME AND WOULD NOT MIND GIVING ME A LIFT TO THE GROCERY ETC TO HELP ME OUT.
WHAT HE DID (NOT) TELL ME WAS THAT HE WAS GOING TO SPEND A GREAT DEAL OF TIME IN THE ROOM DRINKING COLT 45 FORTIES AND SMOKING NEWPORT MENTHOLS.
I HAD NOT BEEN AROUND THIS SINCE MY CRUISING DAYS AND EDGING INTO NORTH MPLS TO CHECK OUT THE ACTION.
THAT WAS ALMOST 40 YEARS AGO...
I WAS NOT TOO HAPPY AND DID NOT TREAT THIS FELLOW WITH MY BEST DEMEANOR IN THE HOPES HE WOULD FIND OTHER ARRANGEMENTS (WHICH HE DID) BUT NOT BEFORE CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE AND RIPPING ME OFF THE DAY HE MOVED OUT.
(THIS GUY TOLD ME THAT I WAS A VULNERABLE ADULT) ...
OBVIOUSLY HE HAD LEARNED THE TERM ON THE INTERNET OR PERHAPS WHEN DEALING WITH HIS ELDERLY FATHER.
IN RETROSPECT, I WONDER IF IT WAS BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN ABUSING HIS FATHER AND GOT CAUGHT. PERHAPS THIS IS WHERE HE HAD LEARNED THE TERM ...
IN ANY EVENT, WERE THE GUY NOT A BEER THUG AND DESTRUCTIVE, I MIGHT HAVE FELT A NEED TO LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAD TO SAY BUT HE WAS AND SO I DID NOT.
IMAGINE A GUY LIKE THAT BEING THE SOURCE OF INFORMATION IN DETERMINING IF SOMEONE WAS A (VULNERABLE ADULT)
YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED AS I RECALL WHY COUNTY SERVICES LOOKED INTO THE WELFARE OF PEOPLE I WAS TOLD GROWING UP AS A KID AND HOW OFTEN PEOPLE GOT LABELS THAT DID NOT DESERVE THEM.
TOO OFTEN PEOPLE ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY GET OLDER, ARE GIVEN MEDICATIONS THAT CHANGE THEIR WAYS AND LOSE THEIR FORMER ABILITIES.
THIS IS THE DANGER OF BIG PHARMA AND AN ELITIST SOCIETY. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE GIVEN A NEW PRESCRIPTION ... RESEARCH IT FIRST, THEN ASK SOMEONE YOU TRUST TO GIVE YOU AN OPINION IF THEY NOTICE THINGS ARE NOT THE SAME AS BEFORE IN YOUR BEHAVIOR. MEDICATIONS CAN LITERALLY CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND YOU CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT TO BECOME A PRESCRIPTION JUNKIE OR LATER BE LABELED ... (A VULNERABLE ADULT) ....
