But, it pays dividends for several generations. That, combined with your faith makes a powerful statement in favor of marriage, fidelity, tough love and strong consistent beliefs! I applaud you and those like you. As much as you detest and deride the two cities, their are many like you. The news you read doesn't spend much time on them, thankfully.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04401746259487330914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061582353562134652.post-66720151012291917672017-07-24T13:54:16.955-07:002017-07-24T13:54:16.955-07:00I agree with you on many of your points David.

I know that Dr. Andrew Weil said in one of his earlier books that mankind has an innate desire to get high (The Natural High). He might have been right - we get high on our kids and grand kids.

So Americans can more-easily afford to buy recreational drugs<br /><br />2) Americans have a great deal of leisure time: more than we did 40 years ago, and we work significantly less than many developed countries. With more leisure time, Americans have more time to experiment with drugs.<br /><br />3) Humans are known to obsessively imitate what they see other humans doing; they even imitate when the behavior is NOT beneficial. Given the massive publicity that drugs receive in the US, it is not surprising that America's drug abuse rates are so high. People who witness drug use, whether in-person, or second-hand via tv/internet, are highly likely to imitate what they see. This tendency to imitate is disturbingly consistent, as seen in the recent episodes of gun violence in schools, as well as copycat killers throughout history. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15898532001022482469noreply@blogger.com
