What Measures Have Been Taken in the Past to Provide Rehab to Drug Users Through Governmental Funding?

Question by Lauren: What measures have been taken in the past to provide rehab to drug users through governmental funding?
One of my few issues with Barack Obama’s platform is a fraction of his stance on HIV/AIDS prevention. I don’t understand why he believes in funding a needle exchange for drug addicts instead of using the funding to establish rehab centers and treatment. To me, it seems like that plan of action is only encouraging drug use instead of trying to eliminate it. Have there been past governmental attempts or acts to do this prior to the “needle exchange” idea?

Do You Think Homosexuality Is a Gene That Scientists Need to Fix?

Question by PLANET MAN: Do you think homosexuality is a gene that scientists need to fix?
SCIENTISTS are hard at work to try to find genetic causes for alcoholism, drug addiction, promiscuity, violence, other aberrant behavior, and even for death itself. Would it not be a relief to find that we are not responsible for our actions but are merely victims of biology? It is human nature to blame someone or something else for our errors.

If the genes are to blame, scientists hold out the possibility of changing them, eliminating undesirable traits through genetic engineering. The recent success in mapping the entire human genome has given such aspirations new impetus.

Title for My Speech on Obama’s Gun Control Policy and Mexican Drug Cartel Violence?

Question by Dr. Psychology: Title for my speech on Obama’s gun control policy and Mexican drug cartel violence?
I’m giving an informational speech for my innovations class on a controversial topic that could be further explained. I chose to write about the misconceptions regarding Obama’s gun control policy, the claim that many make that the Obama Administration is “taking away our second amendment”, and how this is influenced by the Mexican drug wars. My thesis statement is: “Due to misinformation, people often view Barack Obama’s policy on firearms as revoking our second amendment, when Obama is actually trying to ban semi-automatic guns to prevent drug war violence in Mexico.” I have the speech all outlined, but I’m still in need of a title.
