I Stand Alone Until Proven Otherwise
I'm not a saint. Don't claim to be. I do however, have my own crusade in which I oppose drugs and reckless sex. Now, reckless sex is unsafe and while having more than one partner at the same time. Majority will agree that is bad and should be avoided. Drugs, majority will agree its bad and should be avoided. However, the number drops when it comes to two things which I include in drugs. Tobacco, which a slim majority would oppose, and then alcohol. Alcohol, I lose a person's agreement every time when it comes to alcohol. I understand its a major part of not just American, but world history, but I also understand its harmful effects, as well as the harm the other things cause as well. I see the harm they cause. The suffering, pain, anger, remorse caused by them onto not only the person who takes the drug, but the people around them who are devastated by witnessing an addict, or an alcoholic, or have to choke on someone's cigarette. I can get people to agree on one or two, but alcohol and marijuana, (cannabis for you Europeans and technical kind) always end up as the sticking point in getting support for something I wish would happen. I would appreciate to see them banned. Outlawed. Illegal. Out of society completely, not by government mandate, but by society placing a limit. It rarely happens these days but we need it or this world will continue to spin out of control. Thank you for reading.
