and Grace. As a psychiatrist and teacher with
years of experience, I totally agree with his
statement that all human beings have an inborn
desire of God, whether one is consciously
religious or not. Some people repress this desire

disease. These are just...

Crack-Cocaine Addiction at It's Best In quite a
few lower-class communities, phrases like "your
mom is a crack head, " or "shut up crack baby" are
