Clang Clang
Chuck’s stepbrother Max was indicted by a federal grand jury a few months back. Around our house we call him Clang Clang Max.It is some extortion thing, I think. I don’t really know him; he is much older than Chuck and his brothers. I only have met him twice in the past fourteen years including one time at his Dad’s funeral. I have no idea if he did what he is charged with.
One thing I do know about him however, is when his first wife left him he went to A.A. for about a year. After he got his one year chip he announced that he was not an alcoholic and no longer needed to go to A.A. Like I said, I hardly know him and have no idea if Max is one of us or not.
I just learned that Max’s lawyer brokered a deal for him. He will get a year off his sentence if he says he is an alcoholic and attends A.A. while he is a guest of the federal prison system. I am glad that this is still a yet for me. ¶ 7/06/2006 08:41:00 AM

I hope his sentence includes the words "We were powerless over alcohol and our lives had become unmanageable."
thats one of the reasons I visit our county jail on Saturday mornings, to carry the message... I hear the doors clang twice, I see what can happen if I chose to pick up, and I see the beauty of recovery in jail, how it can set people free...
True when is extortion, extortion and when is it good government policy. Good government policy that is when you are an American citizen? (-:
