there was an expose some time about people traveling between drug lenient states and picking up prescriptions and then reselling them in another state....FLorida was a baddie....

but I've grown cold to opioid OD's...its just what happens when you're inundated with it...

but what I really get angry about is our ever increasing sloth, drug eating, overeating, lazy and shiftless culture....

this is not the robust and hardy population that Teddy Roosevelt talked about..

no way does America survive the way this is going....

Khrushchev was right....they didn't need bombs to destroy America...

We’ve gone soft. Something really, really, REALLY bad needs to happen to mend this country. Think 9/11 on steroids. Maybe Civil War 2.

Interesting. In WW1 Kaiser Wilhelm frequently prowled around the area just behind the lines during major battles on the Westfront. Since he spoke English certainly better than many Americans today he several times stopped his caravan to speak to British/Empire soldiers or Americans who had been captured and were carrying/supporting a wounded comrade. In part it was to have his imperial flunkies stop an ambulance and have the wounded evacuated (Wilhelm was in some was a very kind and generous person his head was just unfortunately stuffed with crap). After one of these roadside visits in which he and an AEF infantry Sgt. discussed of all things TR. The Sgt seemed impressed the Kaiser considered himself a friend of TR and the very high opinion Wilhelm had of Roosevelt. The Sgt impressed the Kaiser and after he had gotten an ambulance stopped to evacuated a wounded US soldier the Sgt and another GI were helping along Wilhelm opined to his immediate staff in his field limo that the Sgt was a typical American, polite and respectful but with a strong sense of his self worth and his equality as a person with others. His concluding comment was ‘Gentlemen, that was a typical American and there are tens of millions of them. They are naturally hardy, brave and soldier like. They are going to give us huge problems and I don't know if we can hold them off.” Sadly a century has done a lot and not for the good to our population. The ‘average American’ of 1918 is fast being supplanted by what you describe above.
