War On Drugs
Today’s youth is all about drugs. You can’t go anywhere without hearing someones story how blazed they got the other day, or without spotting track marks on someones arms. Are our lifes so miserable now that all that kids can’t aspire to is to be a crack-head? Sure 75% of those kids never seen a needle, and would in fact crap their pants if one was stuck in their arm, but that doesn’t stop them from bragging. It’s a funny phenomenon. But what has happened to those days, when people had real goals… funny as it sounds, dreaming to be a firefighter is still cooler than pretending to be a dope.
Who’s to blame? TV, Government, Parents? Who know’s. While media is concentrated, on the dangers of consuming too much margarine, or what happened on the latest reality show, meanwhile real problems of the society are swept under the carpet. Was Saddam, or even Osama posing so much risk to each one of us, that we need to spend crap load of money and lifes to address the issue? No, you have probably 20 percent of a greater chance to be stabbed my strunged out crackhead than even coming in contact with a real terrorist.
Somehow now, we can take measures to surveillance our regular citizens, while for a long time now the government couldn’t stump out the drug problem, securing the borders, and educate people? Lack of resources, lack of will? I dunno. But it seams that as a country we are worried more about the world… cough oil cough money cough… than our own citizens. It’s a shame that somehow we can police the world, but yet when something happens behind my apartment the cops do not show up for an hour.
So instead of curbing crime, diseases, and assuring our own personal safety, we rather close our eyes and vote for the next American Idol, all meanwhile another curious kid sticks a needle in the arm, some innocent daughter is getting HIV from her crack head boyfriend, or your neighbor steps in some poo left by a homeless dope. We of course as people can rally and pout about prices of gasoline, wearing fur (remember the baby seals), saving the elephants, being more green but somehow no one is too eager to stand up for cleaner streets. Keep on rocking America…
