    @sellingthings Totally agree. A pschycologist friend told me 30 yrs ago that drugs would destroy our society; that drugs were responsible for most crimes and that we were living in a nation of druggies raising druggies. He said (quote) The next generation will not understand the values of fair play, honorable living or even self-preservation. It's true. There is no reverance for life or respect for themselves or others in many of our young people.
    Contrarily, and thank God for this... there are many kids who make the decision every day not to get high, and that's just not easy in 2012 in America. Those kids, the ones that are straight and working and going to school and helping with the younger kids because both folks work and genuinely take pride in themselves --- they are my true heroes and our only hope that things might change. They get no awards, no notoriety at all, and sometimes even their parents forget to say thanks for being a damned good kid.
    It is depressing when you remember what it was like when life and goodness were revered. Make yourself feel better by calling one of the 'heroes' today and tell him/her he's a great kid and you wanted to be sure s/he knew that!
