Based on conversation in chat last night, I am getting ready to use this
http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/index.cfm?ty=d ... /index.cfm

to analyze different police practices re drug use. What I plan on doing is choosing similar cities by population, but different by % LDS. Since arrests by SES are not available, I will have to do it by race. The hypotheses are that LDS-dominated areas are more likely to arrest minorities for drugs and drug-related offenses, and that they are likely to concentrate on drugs per se more than only the crimes that are associated with drug use.

I might need some suggestions on implementing this plan.

Decided it is not worth it. Too many uncontrolled variables floating around in that data. Sigh.

When I was attending LDS addiction recovery I wasn't welcomed. (By the Clergy... and some of the other Members, it's the leaders I blame)

The A.A. Big Book is not to be studied by the LDS on account of Bill's Story. Bill received divine inspiration to start A.A. through a Pillar of Light, and because of contradictions in LDS Doctrine, The Big Book must be Evil. According to the LDS Bill did not see a Divining Light, he saw the Light of the Devil... Yet they still use their own version of the 12 Step Process.

Well, I had half a beer last night. I had essentially committed to sobriety after I had made the decision to decline to be worshiped. I figured I'd have a beer to look like I belonged there, I felt dishonest so I Put the beer down and ordered a Coke.

One of the People I was out with was a good for nothing violent jock, I tried to be his friend while staying on his good side.... The second bar we hit up he snapped and K.O.'d some guy.(According to Boxing rules)
