I’ll be frank with you, I hate alcohol so this might in some way influence my analysis of American life saturated as it is now by the marketing and consumption of this insidious drug. When one considers the long list of pain inflicted upon innocent people by this malicious product, it gives one pause and not a little sadness at the clouding of judgment and its consequent macro effect upon American life. I have heard the American people railing against government as if rousing from a drunken stupor. It reminds me of the Israelites railing against Moses when the only crime he has committed against them was is in helping deliver them from slavery and bondage.
Perhaps the greatest of all crimes induced by liquor is the subtle withdrawal of parents from the responsibilities of parenthood – and I don’t mean the provision of money, but the provision of wise and sober nurture and a parental example worth aspiring to. It is my firm conviction that we have only the dullest notion of the full impact of the clouded mind upon the tenor of American life. The more we drink, the more we drift towards escapism and the tired, long history of tragedy. Will we confront the lies perpetrated by this greedy industry before it is too late and save ourselves from permanent mental impairment and certain social declension?
