Human Purpose Threatens Government Control
American Thinker ^ | 26 Aug, 2025 | J.B. Shurk

There is nothing more tragic than a life devoid of purpose. Without meaning, souls wither away. Anybody who has interacted with drug addicts whose only “purpose” is to secure another “fix” knows this to be true. The human part of those so afflicted steadily disappears as the body is overtaken by a desperate need to remain in a sedated state of oblivion.

Almost every city in America has a “no-go” zone of hardcore homeless addicts who shuffle along the streets like zombies from a horror movie. The sight is surreal and a shocking reminder that even the most powerful country in the world regularly fails to beat back the advances of Hell.

As a society, we used to at least pretend to care about the drug epidemic in America. We declared “war on drugs,” but the drugs won. The Reagan administration produced some effective public health campaigns, but the drug cartels south of the border became only more powerful over time.

As Democrats and some libertarians pushed for the legalization of serious narcotics this century, state governments and federal agencies not only stopped enforcing drug laws, but also accepted that sizable populations across America would be permitted to suicide while the rest of us disinterestedly watched. From urban streets to abandoned houses in forgotten rural towns, drug-addled zombies pursue one “purpose”: to die.

Some might say “to each his own” or “it’s none of my business.” Adulthood, after all, is about taking responsibility for your own actions. And it is almost impossible to talk someone out of destroying himself. With every breath we take, glass of water we drink, and bowl of food we eat, staying alive is a choice. Those who reach for the needle, it is often said, are making a “choice,” too.

The homeless are a too for the left to take control over everyone’s life.

Two current and nine former ICE officials told Reuters the agency is grappling with burnout and frustration among personnel as agents struggle to keep pace with the administration’s aggressive enforcement agenda.

That's because of Biden letting them sit on their butts all day not doing a damn thing to stem to avalanche of illegals that flew across the border.
