There is an increase in those seeking counseling and support. Drug and alcohol misuse has now spiraled and the misuse of prescription drugs has become a major problem for young people and adults representing with problems. Suicidal tendencies arise for a variety of reasons. Pressure from financial issues, personal problems, family break up and addiction to name a few. In the present financial climate people need to support each other. Remember what is a real value in life and be willing to let go of that which is not. Yes money or the lack of has become a factor in a lot of misery. A situation created by corruption and greed. All of this can be turned around by simple acts of consideration for our fellow citizens. Working together gives added strength when someone feels they cannot do it on their own. Sometimes you just have to ask for that help.
UPDATE ON BANKS AND THE SUPPORT OF THE DRUG CULTURE
Antonio Maria Costa,
former
head of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime,
in an interview
with the Observer
said
evidence was shown to him
that
organized crime proceeds
were "the only liquid investment capital" available to some banks
under threat of
co
lapse last year. He said that most of the $352bn (£216bn) drugs profits
went
into the economic system as a result.
This brings up the question about how much crime has an influence on the economic system in crisis . Drug money is laundered through legitimate businesses to clean it and becomes part of the overall money in circulation. It raises the possibility of examination by World leaders on the banking system.People lost a lot of money and some their family homes during this period.
