A Case for Why we need a Drug Problem

[WhiteDove]

BLESS OUR PARENTS WHO DRUGGED US!!!

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 and he asked me a rhetorical question, "Why didn't

we have a drug problem when we were growing up?"

I replied: I had 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.
