<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#333333 size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #333333">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?"<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#333333 size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #333333">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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#333333 size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #333333">I was drug by my ear 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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#333333 size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #333333">I was drug to the kitchen sink to have
my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profanity. I was drug out to pull
weeds in mom's garden and flowerbeds and cockleburs out of dad's
field.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#333333 size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #333333">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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#333333 size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #333333">Those drugs are still in my veins and
they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, or think. They are stronger
than cocaine, crack, or heroin; and, if today's children had this kind of drug
problem, <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region> would be a better place.
