Guns, Drugs, and Water

In the news recently were articles about Houston, Texas being the major supplier of guns, including the powerful 223.caliber Bushmaster, to drug cartels in Mexico.

It's interesting that gun stores along the Mexico border states of Texas and Arizona can sell thousands of guns to people for their "personal use" without being concerned how the guns will be used. It's also interesting that thousands of gun stores don't care how the guns will be used and aren't concerned. I wonder how they would feel if guns they sold were used to kill members of their family. Oh well, profit is the name of game and killing people is just a shame!

America could easily stop the drug traffic. However, our weak laws, weak judges, and money-hungry lawyers don't want to stop that traffic...it just makes too much money and there are just too many powerful people in America making money. Perhaps when their daughters are being raped and members of their family are being taken out by some drugged-up person, they might be encouraged to change their mind. Or, when the American public gets fed-up and hire their own police force to take out drug users, drug manufacturers, drug distributors, etc. As long as America is the drug consumption capital of the world, why shouldn't the drug cartels get their supplies in to meet the demand? It's just business!

Don't drink the water! That's right. If Americans really knew how weak the EPA, FDA, and other regulatory bodies were concerning their water coming in their homes, they would demand stricter laws, more testing, and more regulators to show up without notice to those who consistently send their dirty water into our water supply. However, the current laws allow us to be poisoned a little bit. They don't tell us about animal and human do-do in our drinking water. It's just a little bit. We aren't told a lot about the tons of poisons in the water used to create drugs and wash out the utensils creating the drugs. Plus, America is drug-crazy. Just look at how many drug commercials there are on any given night on American television.

Aaah! Free Enterprise and Dictatorship (state-controlled) Enterprise is just wonderful---for those in control and enjoying the Good Life! Who is going to speak up against the strong and powerful greedy and rich barons of the world? Speak up and you are liable to lose your job, your family, and even your life! However, if individuals banded together and rose up against the evil and corrupt, there could be a change.

But, how do you tell the evil rich people from the not-so-evil rich people from the almost-good rich people from the clearing-my-conscious rich people from the good rich people from the for-sure-I-want-to share-my-wealth rich people? Heck! I am not God...I am just an observer and thankful that some rich people do some good with their wealth while living, and even after they die. Mmmm! Maybe Bill and Melinda Gates will help me build helpful museums and positive training centers across America! Maybe we could become so successful that those who sell guns and use drugs would see a benefit to change their ways. Maybe the drug manufacturers and others who misuse our water would want to change. I just remembered: people want to know the answer to "What's In It For Me"? If only we could make "Good Living" more important that "Greedy Living"! Oh well, back to thinking and writing.
