Sometimes it is easy to believe people have thrown in the towel and don't care much about their fellow man.  The news about Iraq seems to be all bad.  Drugs appear to be getting more available and potent by the day.  What is worse is the price is going down so it is available to more and more individuals.  The good news is I got stuck in a traffic jam today.  Nomally on the way to work this would not be a good thing.  It is what caused the traffic jam that was exciting.   All the lanes were blocked because so very many people were trying to get into a hotel.  The lot and the parkade were full.  All the available parking on the street was taken up for several blocks.

All these people were going to a one day conference.  It was on addiction and the brain.  It was open to everyone.  Doctors, nurses, lawyers, social workers, moms, dads and anyone else.  It was heartening to see all these people willing to take a day out of their busy schedules to start to learn something about addiction.  People are not surrendering to all the drug abuse in our society.  Today was a great day.
