In no way do I
support the idea of anyone using any chemical to destroy his or her ability to
function as a person in control of his or her faculties. It is wrong, it is sad,
and we, as a nation that use to be a beacon to civility, (a people who were
possessed of reason) should be ashamed and outraged we have become the worlds
largest consumer of drugs. Reason, as Cicero points out in his De Republic Legibus, is humanities
link to God. We more than any other society, should not have despair and lack of
self-government elevated to a point where people want to bury pain and their
moral ethics by burying reason with drugs. We should not have this epidemic in
our midst.
Yet, we must look at the use of drugs from
an historical point of view if we as a people ever hope to reduce their use.
Consider the days of prohibition. A crime was created: The manufacture, sale and
use of alcohol (the No.1 drug in use in America today). Bootleggers,
distributors, right down to the kid who rigged his car to carry and deliver the
booze to outlets to the public. Today in America, we have drugs that are deemed
legal by the government we serve. They are just as prevalent and just as
dangerous as their street counter parts. There are drugs to curb all sorts of
mood swings, from stomach aids due to psychological circumstances creating
stomach acid problems to high blood pressure pills, necessary because our life
style creates high blood pressure, and drugs to calm the mood swings of adults
and children alike. There are drugs to stimulate sexual desires. There are drugs
to curb sexual desires. There are drugs to make you sleep and drugs to keep you
awake. The list is endless and growing at an unprecedented rate as we turn from
simply self-governing ourselves in a moral way (everything in moderation) to
playing god, something time has proved over and over again we can never do. Our
god, materialism coupled with pride in its destructive form, has created the
need for and dependence on drugs. Some, the government we serve deems to be
legal and some, illegal that lead to the “drug war”.
I remember some time ago, a reporter was
interviewing a Columbian “Drug Lord” on TV. He made a statement I’ll never
forget. He said…”If you weren’t the market, then I’d be out of business. Talk
about telling the truth. Our “leaders” could learn from him, that is, if they
were interested in truth. Do their policies contribute to people using drugs? No
doubt in my mind.
The “War on Drugs” the Federal Government is
waging, it is just as wrong as getting caught up in the use of drugs, legal or
illegal, if not more so. Its twenty or more years of “successes” speak of its
failures, unless of course you count the billions of dollars in “loot” it brings
to the Fed as “success.” The DEA is waging nothing more than a war on private
property; a war on the Constitutional concept of a person being considered
innocent until they are proven guilty; or even charged for that matter. People
are routinely stripped of property prior to being charged much less convicted.
Even life: Ask the Donald Scott family, is at risk in “the war on drugs.” Its
actions are born in the concept MIGHT MAKES RIGHT. The very existence of a force
looking and acting like KGB or GESTAPO REGULATORS flies in the face of
everything we once held sacred. IE: Reason, the Constitution, Declaration of
Independence, Bill of Rights, morality, ethics, justice etc.. Peoples lives are
ruined for one stupid act, certainly nothing worthy of imprisonment. In to many
cases, they engage in drug use because socialist indoctrination has at its heart
the destruction of self-respect. The worth of a man in the world of the
Socialist is material. Aside from being a material item, if you don’t have the
“toys” your worthless so why not wipe away the anxiety that comes from realizing
your hopelessness with anything you can get your hands on. Or, better yet, go in
to the business of selling drugs so you can measure up to Hollywoods or Wall
Streets level of “perfecton.”
Accountability in its historic American
sense; is to the “Laws of Nature and Nature’s God.” The law that transcends all
law. Today; law is being held accountable to amoral political correctness. There
no longer is any moral foundation to the actions of the government we serve.
Acting like a Seal tossing a ball or clapping its flippers for a tossed Sardine
is to be good in the eyes of the Regulators. Be accountable to a government and
people in government who practice NO accountability; that’s a bad joke at best.
When accountability to the Supreme Judge of
our conduct and the consequences of breaking his Commandments was taught and in
people’s hearts, they thought twice about their actions. Now the difference
between right and wrong is not being politically correct, that is if you can’t
claim to be a victim of one sort or another. Ask Clinton or Bush or anyone of
their comrades, just to name two of the “latter day saints” in their own minds.
Accountability must be brought back into the
Educational System. Prior to the war that is raging between believers in the
Creator referenced in the founding documents and the
“creative” man gods, these thoughts were
taught in the school system.
1-
There exists a
Creator who made all things, and mankind should recognize and worship him.
2-
The Creator has
revealed a moral code of behavior for happy living, which distinguishes right
from wrong.
3-
The Creator holds
mankind responsible for the way they treat each other.
4-
All mankind lives
beyond this life.
5-
In the next life
mankind are judged for their conduct in this one.
Note: These rules of conduct are perfectly
acceptable to all religions; except the HUMANIST, SECULARIST and NEW AGE man
gods. They’re the ones in control and their agenda includes drugging minds to
stimulate the desired response (lack of self-government) leading to the need to
be governed . As their way of living has and is taking over, you cannot turn on
the TV without seeing ads for a multitude of “legal” drugs that are to
accomplish the same objectives as their street counterparts. Using drugs
manufactured out of elements the Creator created is one way of denying the
existence of the Creator. Amazing a mind with its faculties in order can buy
that garbage.
Most important, we need to start looking at
drug abuse as a result; a result in the breakdown of moral education, Spiritual
Leadership, Constitutional Government, justice, ethics based on a moral
foundation and all the other attributes of moral self-government.
The church, changing its role from the
teacher of moral self-government (God’s code of conduct for human action and
interaction) so that when we come together in union, the order will be moral, to
helping the Humanist/Secularist plan the Social Order, is a very large factor in
the decline of morality and the use of hallucinogens. If a church or any other
leader sets himself or herself up as an intermediary between God and you, run;
don’t walk, from their presence.
At the turn of the last century, Bayer
marketed heroin as an over the counter drug. Dentist frequently suggested using
it as a pain reliever. Cocaine was the main ingredient in Coca-Cola and other
Cola drinks. Marijuana was legal to buy but it never took on the same popularity
as smoking tobacco. Actually, the “Drug War” began under Bush 1’s
administration. Was it intended to police the government taught lack of
responsibility or add to the coffers of its insatiable appetite or both?
Considering responsibility has been relegated to history, all drugs that can
distort or destroy ones abilities to function as an asset to society, they now
have to be regulated. That said, I feel they should be controlled on a state by
state level as a step toward eliminating the far more dangerous threat to
society: The rise of the POLICE STATE. I have more faith in state governments
(we have the option to pick the state we want to live in) than I do a
centralized gang who accepts the leadership of a convicted Contemptible Liar,
“non-inhaler” and sexual pervert or todays liar on a crusade to replace God with
one of his own making.
Consider Clinton, Bush and Bush’s propaganda
minister Rush Limpjaw, who all light heartedly admitted to “using” street drugs.
If they had been arrested and put in prison for ten years, like so many less
financially fortunate or politically unconnected, would they be better leaders
today? The hypocrisy in government is as prevalent as drugs in the street.
Solution. Scrap the DEA. Put moral
instruction back into education leading to a rebirth of self respect and let the
States and local police deal with people who abuse drugs. If nothing more, maybe
we would regain our Constitutional protections.
