(Sep. 18, 2011) — Summer is essentially over and the barbeques, beer and block parties are winding down, as people get back in the groove for school and prepare themselves mentally for the eventual cooling of fall and the bitterness of a harsh winter. The informality of the warmer weather falls away and is replaced with pressed suits, starched shirts, conservative ties, high heels and business dresses. A self-absorbed America is humming along as it usually does, somewhat oblivious to the man-made hurricane that is hovering just over the horizon and threatening to come ashore.
Meanwhile, the poor put on warmer clothes to head for the welfare office where Obama’s stash is sitting there in vaults to be doled out to those who have lost their personal pride, self-reliance and claim no responsibility for their actions or consider themselves victims of discrimination or some societal-inflicted injustice of one kind or another.
Long-haired hippies, locked forever in the flower-children 60′s, live for their next weed. Cocaine, heroin, or meth addicts think of ways, legal or illegal, as to how they can fund their next “high.” The emotional toll on individuals and families and the cost to treat illegal drug addiction is virtually immeasurable. The result of America’s collective addiction causes uncontrollable and brutal drug, gang, money and weapons wars in Mexico and beyond. It further triggers beatings, murder and decapitations north and south of the border, all because of self-absorbed Americans who give up self-discipline and the drive for excellence and goodness in exchange for numbness, debauchery, self-deprivation, self-loathing and just possibly, self-destruction. For those of you engaging in this filthy habit, the deaths of thousands of innocents falls on your shoulders.
