leprechaun Drugs menace ..Are we to blame? (84* d) RE: Drugs menace ..Are we to blame? 13 Aug 03


Warning - sarcasm alert!

What war on drugs? There is no war on drugs. There is a war on humanity by drugs. But on drugs, against drugs? No way are we waging any kind of war. War implies a commitment, a risk, a genuine effort. We don't have that. We've damn near surrendered. Drugs is winning.

Drugs is winning because we ain't really putting up a fight. We're not willing to get rid of the traitors in our midst.

War on drugs my ass.

In 1944, if somebody in this country had been caught sending a hundred dollars a day to Adolph Hitler, he would have had his nuts yanked off at the very least.

But these days, every arrogant, self-centered, party animal asshole who gets caught indulging himself with controlled substances gets to be a victim, according to all you libertines. It's only an herb.   It's a victimless crime. Oh the poor dear thing, he's got low self esteem. Oh the pitiful disenfranchised victim of society, she's just self-medicating. It's the government's fault, it's the rich people's fault, it's the health care system's fault, it's our materialistic society's fault, and war is not good for children and other living things, sniff, sniff.

I have known more heroin addicts, meth addicts, cocaine addicts, marijuana addicts, ecstasy addicts and alcohol addicts than all you folks together. To a person they have one trait in common. The most important thing in their lives is their own personal pleasure. More important than their health, more important than their parents, more important than their teeth, more important than their children.

When they're being candid they don't call it self-medicating, they call it partying. There aren't any heroin addicts out there "just using enough to maintain." If they have enough shit to get high, that's what they're about. That self-esteem crap, the drowning the pain crap, the cry for help crap; that's all clever bullshit some defense attorney came up with to hornswoggle a jury somewhere.

So you folks are gonna solve the problem by giving out free heroin? Cool. So your fourteen year old daughter decides she wants to become a heroin addict like everybody else in town; will she have to go to a doctor, or can she just go down to the Walmart and buy some off the shelf? I can see it now, "China White - ready to use in its own pre-packaged, hermetically sealed syringe...in designer colors no less!"

Some of you seem to think substances shouldn't be controlled? And if everybody can have any kind of drug they want, just because they want it, what are you gonna do with all those pharmacists, kill 'em off?

I suppose I should expect that kind drivel from all you potheads so have at me now.
