Many people havccxpcricnccd the
fear of sitting in the dentist's chair
awaiting the noisy drill to repair diseased
teeth Those who do notcare for
their teeth at all will eventually lose
them and without teeth one w ill have
difficulty chewing food, speaking
clearly and smiling without confidence.
Though preventive dental care,
tooth decav and gum disease can be
avoided along with the expensive
treatment needed for repair. Prevention
is simple and should start at
birth
Aftcrcscry feeding, wipcthcbaby's
gums with a damp cloth to remove
plaque Avoid feeding for a prolonged
lime and most importantly do not
giv e the baby a bottle during naps and
bedtime. Prolonged exposure to sugary
liquids causes baby bottle decay
and costly future dental problems If
your child needs a bottle as a pacifier,
use water as a substitute Start weaning
your children from their bottle
around twelve monthsofagennd end
bottle use by fifteen months of age 01
as he or she can hold a cup
Baby teeth may break through as
early as four months of age which
begins the process of brushing teeth
with fluoride toothpaste and a soli
loolhbiuslt. If youi child is still breast
feeding after six months your doctor
may piescribc fluoride drops or tablets.
especially ifyour water source is
front a non-fluoridated well Fluoride
makes the tooth surface more resistant
to decay and promotes
rcminerali/ation Public water supplies
and soft drinks usually contain
a sufficient amount of fluoride Consul!

under the age of five mostly

make sure to finish the job
Regular dental visits arc another

American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry
recommends initial evaluation
by twelve months of age. Teeth cleaning
by a dental hygicnisl is recommended
twice a year Your dentist

Putting the buggy before the mule
or Lady Justice is many umes
depicted wearing a blindfold, which
is supposed to, I guess, reflect the
age-old contention that "Justice is
blind."
And I guess she is. Lame and
crippled too, if you ask me, if the
cumbersomely slow manner in
which it is dispensed in Robeson
County is any indication.
But I believe it is somewhat
unfair to blame it on the ol' girl.
Many time, I fear, it is the folk
charged with dispensing justice who
seem blind and crippled.
A classic case in point is the law
that allows law enforcement folk to
confiscate property at the scene of
the crime if folk are caught engaged
in a drug crime.
Don't misunderstand me, folk. 1
believe strongly in the "Just say no"
philosophy of fighting drugs. In fact, I would take it a wee bit further
by encouraging judges to "Just say no!" too, especially when a convicted
drug dealer asks if he'll ever get out of prison again.
I have no sympathy for folk using drugs either. I say throw the
book at them too. Or anything else handy. But only after they have
been convicted of a drug crime, folk.
Recently, the Supreme Court ruled that it is constitutional for law
enforcement folk to confiscate the property at the scene of a crime
from someone charged with commiting a drug crime.
But I think the law is unconstitutional. It contradicts the constitution
whereby it assures us that folk are innocent until proven guilty.
Yet, when it comes to drugs, the opposite seems to be true. Folk
accused of a drug crime can be punished at the scene by allowing the
"law" to take their stuff.
That ain't right, folk!
I have no love or respect for anyong involved in any aspect of illegal
drug activity. In fact, my wife, from whom I'm presently separated
but still admire and respect highly, is a police officer in nearby
S.C. She riks her life every day fighting crime, the majority of which
seems to be centered around illegal drugs. Indeed, the confiscation
law is the only area in which we disagree as far as law enforcement
is concerned. She thinks it is necessary in the war against drugs. I
think the law is unconstitutional.
Think about it, folk. As it stands, if 01' Lady Justice was caught
smoking a joint, the law enforcement folk could take her blindfold,
robe, and her scales of justice too, right on the spot. Without a trial.
And that unfairly tips the scales of justice in the favor of law enforcement
folk. Sure, it sounds justified since they oftentimes have the
thankless job of fighting the drug war that is being waged in thi$
country.
No doubt, any type of illegal drug activity is wrong. But taking the
stuff belonging to folk accused of a drug crime is wrong too. And two
wrongs don't make a right, no matter how justified it may seem.
If we want to remove the blindfold from the eyes of "01 Lady
Justice, we need to do so by refusing to continue to turn a blind eye
to the rights of ALL people, even the ones operating on the wrong
side of the law.
As it is, Justice seems to be spelled "Just us," when referring to
folk caught commiting a drug crime. And that's not right, folk, no
matter how fed up or exasperated all of us, myself included, might be
with the cancer called drugs that is slowly killing this country. Justice
should be spelled and dispensed the same for everyone.
There's nothing wrong with getting tough on drugs, folk. But let's
do it within the confines of the law, instead of passing special biased
laws that infringe upon the rights of folk charged with a drug crime.
It's alright to take the property of drug criminals. But let's do so
after they have been convicted of a crime. Not before!
Once convicted, then take away their stuff, their freedom, or anything
you want to. But let's not lower ourselves to their standard by
taking their stuff before they are allowed to exercise their constitutional
right io a trial.
Sure, I know a person's stuff is returned if he is found not guilty
of commiting a drug crime. But that's sort of like locking the gate
after the mule has escaped. It's also like the age-old question "which
came first, the egg or the chicken?" Only, in this case, it's "which
came first, the punishment or the trial?" As it is, we are putting the
wagon before the horse by punishing them before they're convicted.
And that ain't how our Founding Fathers meant for justice to be dispensed.
We may never solve the mystery of the egg and the chicken. But
all of us know there is a right and a wrong way to do something. And
it's wrong to punish folk, like the confiscation law does, before they
are convicted of a crime.
Give them their day in court, folk. And give them their stuff until
that day. Then, if convicted, take everything they have, if you want
to. With my blessings! But I have a problem with taking away their
stuff first, which in essence takes away their constitutionally-guaranteed
right, before they are convicted.
We'll talk again folk.
