My Husband showed me this and it is so true.
The Drug Problem in America
>>
>> 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 profane four-letter word.
>>
>> 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 homes of family, friends, and neighbors to help out
>> some poor soul who had no one 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 this kindness, 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.
