DISMAL JOB MARKET AND ILLICIT DRUGS GENERATION'S BIGGEST FAILURES

Studies ranking alcohol use more damaging than drug use cannot have
asked the proper questions. That would be the effects on our children.
No one can drink 24/7. Our bodies will not handle that much poison.
And the abuse will be evident.

Drugs? Many of our youth toke up from the time they get out of bed in
the morning until they go to bed at night. They never see life from a
non-medicated perspective, losing their desire to compete and reducing
their chances of being successful. By the time drug use becomes
evident, many users have fallen behind, or have been in trouble with
the law at far too young an age. The flow of drugs in our society
ranks right at the top, along with a pathetic job market, as our
generation's biggest failures in our legacy to our children. Drug use
is such a big problem that our own governments, our supposed leaders,
have given in because use is so out of control. Giving up on the fight
against drugs is giving up on our children. And to say drug use is
less serious than alcohol use is, in effect, promoting it. Our
children deserve much better. It is up to us to give it to them.
