Subject: Why we did not have a Drug Problemssssssss


  As an old guy I can tell you this is 100% on the target.

  Subject: : Being drugged
  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 you and I 
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 profanity. I was drug out to pull weeds in mom's  garden and 
flower beds and cockleburs out of dad's fields. I was drug
 to the homesof family, friends, and neighbors to help out some poor  soul 
who had noone 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 thiskindness, 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.

 God bless the parents who drugged us!
