Global: More Drug Use, More Grief, More Carnage -This is Not the Future our Children & Communities Deserve

There was no joy in putting together this program, \”The Fight for the Soul of Seattle\”.  I never wanted to do a follow up to \”Seattle is Dying\”. I\’m not comfortable putting my opinion out into the open. I\’m a news guy, and as such, bias is my enemy.

And yet… here we are.

\”The Fight for the Soul of Seattle\” is an essay, really. It\’s a stark, frank look at a philosophy that has taken hold in Seattle, one that I believe is destroying not only our city, but countless lives that are left to languish in misery all around us.

My hope is that the show doesn\’t become a political football. A blame game. An us-versus-them talking point that results in nothing but division.

Feeling safe and protected in a beautiful city that takes care of its most vulnerable isn\’t the exclusive domain of either the left or the right. It\’s what we all want and deserve.

I didn\’t want to make \”The Fight for the Soul of Seattle\”. But look around. Look at the suffering. Look what has happened to our beautiful home. How could I not make it?

Prohibition is not \’killing\’ or \’criminalizing\’ or kids and communities. Let us be perfectly clear, it is PERMISSION models that are facilitating these tragedies.
