dont be so sure we werent always "there" it was just under the covers.
drugs have been an issue for generations, but no one talked about it. Same with abuse and molestation. It may appear that we are in a mess now, but it may just be that we are more willing to disucss and deal with it as opposed to covering it up

Very true...

Change isn't necessarily a bad thing. A lot of things that are different today were driven by that in the past. Some change is good, some is bad...but all in all I'd say the quality of life here at home is pretty good.

I agree, change can be a very good thing, if it is taking us in the right direction.

However, having gone to a large inner city High School in the 50's, where drugs were not heard of, let alone used,

and now go by the school that has "drug free school zone" plastered all over the place, that imho is not the right direction.

In that example, is it the increased (I'm assuming) use in drugs, the increased threat to children or the blanket reaction to protect children through legislation that is the biggest issue?

Some things are evolutionary in nature...you can't just plot two points on a curve and get a realistic picture of the change.

a sign near a school is not going to do anything to keep it a drug free zone

pretty sad

like the dealers are going to pay any attention to some sign

we need more faith

So your answer to the question, in this instance ,would be that going from no drug use, or point A , to rampant drug use, point B, is evolutionary?

If so,what do you think is the cause of the evolution?

can,t f #$%^&* believe it

[Backbeach Jake]

Sure , the dealers pay attrntion to those signs, they even look for them. Untapped customers...

I think you'd have to look at the various signs that have contributed to drug use increases...which are wide and have evolved over time.

It's not all that simple.

Nothing's simple.
and Hey, how come Clammah get's to make
the profound statement.
