I disagree partially with your criticism of Roz. It is understandable that members of an organization dedicated to privacy would be non-responsive to questions from a reporter. However, Roz took the high road of integrity and honestly folled up on the story. As a journalist myself, I appreciate hearing about integrity in reporting for a change.

As far as the story is concerned, addictive behavior is something that many of us do not fully understand. some addicts (and yes, alcoholism is an addiction) are harder to treat than others. some conventional treatment methods do not work. Some hard core methods seem extreme but the most important thing here is to save a person's life.

Roz, keep reporting!!!

I live across the road from a MNCCP Recreation Center, that has AA meetings on Friday nights. In the winter months it is not to bad, but as soon as it is warm enought to ride their motorcycles, and none of them are those little crotch rockets, we are talking about big loud Harleys.and there are a good 15 to 25 on a good night, After the meetings are over all he-- breaks loose! They fire up their motors and race up and down the road at speeds that are so fast, you can't gat a tag number. And no, the county police don't ever seem to be available to stop by and check them out at end of the meeting time.

BTW, I love motorcycles, but this is totally out of control, the county will probably intervene when there is a big accident, and someone is killed.
