The Drug Problem in America

I got this in an e-mail from a friend;and it certainly brought back quite a few memories......I guess I had a drug problem, too! When I was young, I was the drugee and later I was the druger!


************************************************************


The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county. He asked me a rhetorical question, ''Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?''

I replied, I did have a drug problem when I was young:

I was drug to church on Sunday morning.

I was drug to church for weddings and funerals.

I was drug to family reunions and community socials, no matter the weather.

I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults.

I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher, or if I didn't put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me.

I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profane four-letter word.

I was drug out to pull weeds in mom's garden and flowerbeds and cockleburs out of dad's fields.

I was drug to the homes of family, friends, and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothesline, or chop some firewood; and, if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to the woodshed.

Those drugs are still in my veins; and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, and think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin; and, if today's children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place.

Ann gets it..

.. she always does.

In 1994, the Clinton administration got a call from Jimmy Carter — probably collect — who was with the then-leader of North Korea, saying: "Hey, Kim Il Sung is a total stud, and I've worked out a terrific deal. I'll give you the details later."

Clinton promptly signed the deal, so he could forget about North Korea and get back to cheating on Hillary. Mission accomplished.

Just a little summpin' to think about, all you finger-pointing nitwits. This chat about doing an "investigation into the administration" for failures in NKo, what exactly does that do to help resolve these issues? Nothing. People, you have to stop and think of these things before hitting the polls in November. Do you want representatives whose only feeble thought is to investigate, investigate, investigate, and NOT into the actual issue on hand or do you want representatives that are going to do something about it?

If you need any more evidence that it was a rotten deal, The New York Times hailed it as "a resounding triumph."

Bwuaaaaahaaahaa! Cheap shot, most excellent.

So when it comes to North Korea, I believe the Democrats might want to maintain a discreet silence, lest anyone ask, "Hey, did you guys do anything with North Korea?"

Thank you, Ann! Like I said, she gets it.
