The Social Poisoning Of Our Nations

THE WORLD’S IN UPHEAVAL – IT’S NOT LOOKING GOOD:

It Looks Like America Is About To Go To War Against Venezuela.

Trump Seems To Be Throwing Ukraine Under The Bus. There is No Peace in the Middle East with Israel (Jews) Versus the World . . . Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Palestinians in Judea & Samaria . . . and all the Other Islamists Living in Places like Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon & Qatar.

As Much As I Would Love To Change All That . . . I Cannot. And Neither Can You.

I FEEL AS THOUGH WE ARE SWIRLING THE DRAIN:

There Are Things We Can Change, And Better Change Soon, or Life will Not Be Worth Living in the United States of America or Canada. As for the Rest  of the World, Specifically Western Europe . . . They Made Their Bed – Let Them Lie In It.

DO WE TRY TO ELECT THE WORST POLITICIANS POSSIBLE?

I Sincerely Doubt that we Make an Informed Effort to Elect People to Run our Societies, who we Wouldn’t Trust to Clean-Up After our Dogs . . . But If Bad Political Choices Were Gold, We Would Be Awash In Wealth.

We Don’t Pay Attention. We Don’t Ask Questions. We Buy the Political Sizzle Instead of Recognizing the Putrid Reality of the Steak. We Let them Tax the Hell out of Us with their Promises that Taxes will be Reduced . . . They Never Are.

We Believe them When Each Politician Says it’s the Other Guy’s Fault . . . But It’s Never Their Own. So Whose Fault Is It?

Of The People, By The People, For The People . . . Sounds Good Eh? – So Do Rainbows & Unicorns.

There Are Serious Issues Literally Beyond Our Control, Like How Other Nations  Manage their Societies . . . which Doesn’t Preclude us from Managing our Own House, Where The Control Is In Our Hands.

I Like That Trump Is Blowing-Up Narco-Boats. The Narcotics in the Boats and the Scum Bringing the Drugs Onto our Shores Deserve to be Ended. I Also Like that Trump Has Closed the American Door to Illegal & Unwanted Immigrants . . . I Would Be Happy If Canada’s Prime Minister Would Do The Same.

GAMBLING – THE BANE OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY:

I Don’t Like Our Newfound “Acceptable” Industry Of Promoting Gambling At Any Level, but Certainly Not on Television and on the Internet, where Millions Upon Millions of Men, Women, Children & Even the Elderly . . . Get Hooked No Less Than Like Being On A Drug.

OF WHOSE BENEFIT IS SPORT BETTING AT ANY LEVEL & ANY AGE?

There Is Only Hopelessness & Despair To The Lure Of Winning By Throwing It All Away.

SPEAKING OF DRUGS . . . WHERE IS THE GOOD IN BEING STONED?

Where Is The Benefit To The User Or The People Affiliated With The User, whose Persona Belongs to the Drug Ingested to Feel More or Less than How He or She Should Normally Feel Otherwise?

For Those Who Say That Marijuana Is Just A Harmless Recreational Drug . . . It Is Not Harmless. It Pollutes the Lungs & Alters the Brain. It Steals the Users Independence. It Cheats the Employer who Has a Druggie Representing the Interests of His or Her Employ. And it Endangers People on the Road by People who Drive Stoned as Much as People who Drive Drunk.

And Anyone Who Says Marijuana Is Not Addictive . . . The Marijuana-High is Like a Hook that will Not Let Go . . . Unlike Casual Drinkers who Drink for Taste & Thirst who Don’t Drink to Get Drunk, There Is No Taste To Marijuana . . . The Purpose Is Singular.

If Heroin Is Bad. If Cocaine Is Bad. If Fentanyl Is Bad . . . What Makes Marijuana Less Bad?

I AM A VERY CASUAL DRINKER – I DON’T GAMBLE & I DON’T DO DRUGS:

I’ve Been Drunk Perhaps A Handful Of Times In My Much Younger Years.

I Smoked Marijuana & Hashish – One Each in my Life. Once When I was 18-Years Old, and the Second Time When I was Twenty . . . I Liked the Feeling of Being Stoned so Much that I Promised Myself that I Would Never Do it Again . . . And I Haven’t.

I Have Friends, Relatives & Know of Friends of Friends who Destroyed their Entire Lives on Drugs, Booze & Gambling . . .  They Lost Relationships, Spouses, Children, Homes & Businesses because of their Addiction(s) . . . So Why Is Our Government(s) Promoting These Things That Are So Poisonous To Who We Are?

Why Am I OK With Trump Blowing-Up Drug-Boats On The Open Waters, if those Same Drugs are More or Less Tolerated at Home? They Shouldn’t Be – None Of Them Should-Be . . . Unless The Idea Of A Stoned Society Has An Appeal For Which I Have No Understanding. And if the Government Wants to Govern a Stoned-Nation . . . Let Them Say-So.

WANT SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE & EASY FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO DO . . . ?

Make the Passing of a Comprehensive Federal Civics Test Mandatory to Graduate High School. Or Make It Mandatory To Be Able To Vote.

Voting Should Be A Privilege To Those Who Understand The Rules . . . and Not a Distraction to Those who Don’t Have a Clue and are Easily Manipulated to Vote Through Ignorance for the Tooth Fairy.

We Cannot Change The World – We Can Try, But Not Likely – But We Can Change Where We Live.
