My own personal belief is that drug abuse is rampant in our ruling class, including our leaders. Perhaps some use narcotic drugs to keep physical pain in check or perhaps they became addicted through legal means, but the numbing of the brain's frontal lobes occurs regardless of the means of addiction. This is close to home for me because a close relative of mine is a highly educated professional who has struggled with addiction for 20 years, ruining her career and her relationships with everyone. The family stopped covering for her so that she was forced to reveal her problem to save her marriage and her close relationships. She lost her job and her professional license. I once read that a pharmacist in Washington D.C. made the statement that his pharmacy delivered Alzheimer's medications to Capitol Hill on a regular basis. I totally believe that and I believe that the insanity, the lies, and the willingness to destroy this nation, it's success and it's future possibility to give a better life to all our people is in jeopardy because of a few who were given powerful channels to enrich themselves through corrupt dealings and abuse of others. The best thing which could happen is to have real whistle blowers who would come forth without fear to tell what they know about those in positions of power over us who are substance abusers or hypocrites. A deep cleansing is desperately needed.
Great comment!
