The program works. I've seen it work. I've seen it work on myself. I've seen it work on people that I know. I've seen it work with my own fucking child, which I didn't have any involvement in other than to get her off the streets and into a program. I've seen it work with people who apply the program. I've seen the miracle happen in people who apply the program. - Jeff
