John Hubner, wrote about Mitchell Bro's, but now the Family Court
I know him for writing an awesome book about Jim and Artie Mitchell. He wrote for the San Francisco Chronicle and must have done scores of dancer interviews to be able to write his book. His book was much more favorable than one written by a San Jose Mercury News writer. I like Hubner very much.

But here I see that he is from San Jose and they are saying that he was a Probations Officer.
Well here I see that Hubner has with a co-author written a book about the Family Court, a court I have spent my fair share of time in too. He tries to show the stuff they have to deal with.
Well I know a great deal about that Alcohol, Drugs, Born Again Christianity, and Psychiatric Medications population segment. I helped put one of them into San Quentin for sexually molesting his daughters. Though part of what attracted me to that case was that though he had a strong background with Alcohol, Drugs, Born Again Christianity, and Psychiatric Medication, he was also now full Saved and solidly middle-class.
I need to read this book!

Somebody else's children : the courts, the kids, and the struggle to save America's troubled families / John Hubner and Jill Wolfson
New York : Crown, [1996]
With the narrative force of an epic novel, this groundbreaking investigative book delves into the day-to-day workings and life-and-death decisions in one typical American family court system, providing an intimate look at the lives of the children whose fate it decides. Santa Clara County, California, is part Silicon Valley, part suburban sunbelt boomtown, part urban slum, and part rural paradise; its problems mirror those of most cities in the United States. Granted an unprecedented court order giving them access to the families, social workers, and legal professionals of Santa Clara County's system, John Hubner and Jill Wolfson weave together stories that are sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes uplifting, but always deeply human and profound: the battle between biological parents and adoptive parents for the right to raise a baby born drug-addicted; the family torn apart by what they claim is a false charge of sexual abuse; the gallant struggle of therapists trying to untangle an eight-year-old caught in the web of his parents' bitter divorce; the resilience of a preteen cast aside by his family and left to fend for himself on the streets; the nobility of a teenage mother raising her daughters in a neighborhood ruled by gangs. At the heart of these stories stands Judge Leonard Edwards, the 1996 recipient of the American Bar Association's award for the country's best judge in a court of special jurisdiction. In an era when the public is questioning the very value of its social service institutions, Judge Edwards and thousands of others in the trenches are spending every working day trying to make the system work, trying to protect and rehabilitate children who are too often forgotten by society, too often written off as somebody else's children

I think a basic income guarantee is mandatory. Capitalism is what creates unemployment. And Cecil Williams and the people who run Guild Memorial United Methodist Church in San Francisco have got it right. Poverty is caused by social marginalization.
So a corollary is simply this, everyone wants to do well. They want to win the admiration of family and friends. So if they are not doing well, then there must be some social marginalization or disability at work here. But as the main problem is marginalization, then we should not talk about disability, as usually this just means more marginalization.
And of course it is absurd that people should be accepting psychiatric labels. These are just an extreme form of oppression.
So for there to be justice there has to be this basic income guarantee, or what amounts to cradle to grave welfare.
The typical person on welfare takes far less out of our economy than those employed do. And if the welfare recipient is not driving around much in a car, then they are treading far more lightly on the earth than those who senselessly burn up gas and dump CO2 into the atmosphere to do jobs which produce absolutely nothing which people need to live.
Now welfare takes money out of gov't coffers, but in the US welfare has never been more than 3% of federal expenditure. This is much less than corporate welfare and other expenses directed to the betterment of the middle class in order to maintain political allegiance, or to keeping the poor down. So welfare is a cheaper way to keep our society going than the present state of affairs.
And then as far as federal accounts, it is the federal gov't which controls the printing press, the furnace, and interest rates which multiply the availability of money by the inverse of the interest rate. Suffice to say, federal accounts and the money supply are all under gov't control, hence it is artificial. It is just a matter of who and what are being served by it.
So as those who are not doing well are simply the victims of social injustice, we must redress this social injustice.
1. Stop using psychiatric labels, learning disability labels, or morality labels.
2. Offer people value producing work, not nonsense just to get a paycheck.
3. Provide this cradle to grave welfare system as efficiently as possible, and understand that everyone wants to be a useful and meaningful part of our society.
4. Follow my recommendation and hold parents accountable for exploiting their children, using them to give themselves a adult identity. This amounts to psychological child abuse. So besides criminal prosecution where practical, also prevent disinheritance and offer something like a divorce from one's parents when their is parent v child animosity. Make the parents pay, and pay dearly. Make it so that child exploitation no longer pays.
5. And for those who insist on calling the poor lazy or immoral, know that this is how Capitalism works. It is the family where this starts, with the designation of a child as the blacksheep. Those who denigrate the poor are just doing what their parents did to them. So the poor and marginalized need to start standing up for themselves rather than submitting. They and all of us must start engaging in public advocacy and non-violent civil disobedience.
6. And then since the New Economy and Libertarianism are really just the old Social Darwinism and Eugenics Movement, saying that the poor are not fit to compete, we all need to be prepared to do more than just be non-violent. We don't want to be like Anne Frank's father, hiding in an attic waiting for the Gestapo. We need to be ready to engage in guerrilla warfare, the use of lethal force, and without taking prisoners. Unless we are willing to do this, then we are helping the eugenicists who say that we are not fit to live. Gandhi and Jesus lived in violent revolutionary times. They were only able to accomplish their works because others were maintaining the constant threat of lethal violence on a large scale.

But whatever you are on right now, you've got to stay off of it. Just intoxication alone does not do this to someone. Rather it happens when someone is so psychologically addicted to a mood altering chemical that they cannot function without it.
