All our social programs are aimed to salvage people
who had no good sense and didn’t listen to sensible advice. There are some
people who arrive with disabilities or are retarded or psychotic, but I’m
talking about ordinary people, the ones in your neighborhood, going to school,
and so on.
Say no to drugs is good advice, but Nancy Reagan’s
motto was widely mocked by druggies, pushers, growers, smugglers, the media and
assorted smart-asses. And now thousands of people are dead of overdoses,
millions of dollars are spent for maintenance drugs like methadone to keep
people off worse drugs, parks are littered with needles, pharmaceutical
companies who invented all the street drugs out there are now inventing new ways
to divert addicts from street drugs to pharmaceuticals, and so on. And the
psychs tell us addiction is a lifelong brain disease so too bad, if you got
hooked even once, you have to be on BigPharma’s drugs for the rest of your
life.
Say no to drugs is good advice and doing so will
substantially improve the survival of self, family, group and mankind. But it
was more fun to make fun of the slogan because drugs are, you know, pretty fun
and profitable and after your first high which you spend the rest of your short
life chasing, you see things you ordinarily wouldn’t such as people nodding
away in the parks and alleys, shooting up on the subways and under bridges,
crap blowing in the wind from homeless camps, crazy assholes on psychiatric
meds shooting up schools and churches, addicts robbing liquor stores and gas
stations or giving blow jobs to pay for their next fix.
So the things that mother told you such as “wait till
you find the right person before you have sex,” was also pretty stupid
especially when you were thinking with inflamed sexual equipment. So nothing
like stalkers, AIDS, abortions, former partners killing current partners,
beatings, rapes, broken marriages and half of all kids in the US born to single
parents, (which means mothers) which means they didn’t give a shit and had sex
with a loser who just wanted sex, and had enough sex to get pregnant and then
got abandoned because the guy didn’t love them and so then they have to work
and raise a kid too, or go on welfare, and hundreds of welfare mothers sitting
in housing projects watching TV waiting for the baby daddy to come in at night
for a roll in the hay. And the boys have no role model so they follow the
corner drug dealer, and the girls follow their mothers and become the next
generation of public housing tv watchers.
A recent survey said that 55percent of married men had
affairs with at least five people and 50 percent of women admitted affairs with
one man. And now just to help out the cheating and lying, there are social
media sites to hook up married people who get bored. And instead of Playboy
there is online porno to really get the juices pumping.
It was really stupid to think that anybody would
follow grandma’s advice. “Save your money,” she would say, “so you can pay for
things instead of using credit.” But she was stupid and old, and while banks
used to pay interest, they now charge fees to save your money, and you get free
shit with credit cards, but if you miss a payment or go late, the interest rate
shoots up to 36 percent with fees on top of that, and even federal workers with
good salaries and great benefits live paycheck to paycheck and go on food
stamps after a 30-day government shutdown. And while you’re struggling to pay
the rent, another “free” credit card offer arrives. So in 2016 nearly a million
people filed for bankruptcy, and twice that filed in the 2008 economic plunge.
Doesn’t it kind of piss you off? Part of it is the “go
with the flow” mentality. If other people are doing it, I should do it too.
Lemmings off the cliff. Part of it is the “If it feels good, do it.” You can
blame the CIA for that one. They experimented on college kids with LSD, and
idiots like Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey spread the drugs across the country,
and drugs and sex and rock ‘n roll was all that mattered. It felt good to toss
away your tired old rules and just go for it….
And here we are today, blaming others for our sorry
state, checking the “sad face” in our doctor’s office and sitting with the nice
psychiatrist who tells us the latest hokum brain disease bullshit and hooks us
up with the most expensive psycho pharmaceutical that the insurance company
will pay for. “I have PTSD” we whine, or “I’m ADHD so you’ll have to excuse me,”
or “I have Tourette’s Syndrome so if I start shouting ‘YOU JERKS ALL GO TO
HELL YOU ARE SO STUPID YOU MAKE MY HEAD HURT!’” please forgive me.
