Why do we have to pay to look for cures?
We already know the cure to these two diseases; you bar the person from having the drug that is causing their disease.
Why do we have to foot a bill for their treatments?
Because the wealthy would be miserable if it were altogether illegal? They would close the pocketbooks and start a depression or war?
So I asked that question in Catholic Grade school and the teacher said, "Because our government wants you to be happy."
Well, sure that is a rotten answer. But it is a true answer? And what the hell to you tell someone that asks you a question like that anyway?
But not to play the harp. Let's take issue with it?
Does it make you happy? You would never know how unhappy and sick it made you until you were able to stop for a long time. So lets put the truth meter to it. Okay I don't have a fancy diagram. But my custom electric display truth meter says that is a complete lie.
You are likely going to need organ transplants? Does that make you happy?
You were conditioned to believe in the happiness of a drug rather than what little titled happiness you could achieve in life? Does that make you happy? I doubt it. You just are perpetuating that lie to everyone around you.
Now can I mention famous alcoholics? And the perpetuation of that lie of happiness to everyone around them? They were likely motivated to succeed by a completely rotten childhood? Likely one or more alcoholic parents? "Oh here hon you skinned your knee." The mother say's as she blows smoke in your face and cleans the wound? Did she even clean the wound and put a Band-Aid on it? I mean, good God.
I have a real big problem with drugs propagandized as a substitute for happiness from achievement. I mean let's all round around everywhere, jumping up and down and yelling "who, yahoo, who yahoo, who, yahoo. You don't need to go to school or an education at all. All you need is the glory and holiness of these drugs in my pocket. Who, yahoo, who, yahoo, who, yahoo."
And lets say you are born into that? There isn't really a way for you to get out of it. You are going to have that rotten gene.
So who benefits from it? The biggest wealthiest losers among us.
"Here Donny, you are going to this Ivy league college. I paid for it! You will have a tutor who is going to write all of your term papers for you. I paid for it."
Does it make me happy to have to pay for a myriad of illnesses of other people that could have readily been prevented? No. Strict liability would state those who made the profits should pay. Then they should go bank...strike that, belly up, and anyone who starts up that business should face the same fate.
How many homeless were put on skid row by alcohol?
How many learning disabilities were both created and prevented from "improving" because those drugs are present and "available". Maybe if you were forced to become sad you would address those problems? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. If a person is sad enough to cry are they then able to learn? Doesn't seem to be a legitimate statement. But that is where the stream of conscious took the paragraph to conclusion.
