Reply #12: How about THESE reasons for Middle American Meth? [View All]

[tomreedtoon]

1) The people don't have jobs any more. They're all in China and India.

2) The religious faith those people once used to sustain them has been wrecked by the criminal preachers and rapist priests. Those people now realize, like many urban intellectuals, that religion is a fraud and a lie, but they have no philosophies or spiritual concepts with which to replace that old faith. They literally have nothing.

3) They now have satellite TV, and can see that there is plenty of life elsewhere in the world. And they know, for certain, that they are not where any kind of positive action is.

4) The above three reasons are common to just about everybody. Add to them the special sense of doom that haunts the young people in these towns. They know things will never get any better, and will get much worse when they finally have to go to TRY to find work.
