PHARMACIST STEVE

Does this demonstrates the War on drugs – a lot of wasted actions/movements… little/no OUTCOMES ?

   I just love this. I saw a whole exhibit at the Smithsonian in the 70s where they actually constructed working, room-sized versions of various of Rube Goldberg’s original designs. It was great!

   Thanks, Steve! Aside from the depressing thought of the analogy to the war on drugs, this was very entertaining.

     Mary, I am 70yrs old. I come from generation where you were responsible for your own actions. We WERE taught right from wrong;
     Respect (something that seems to have been forgotten in later generations); truth (you lie you pay the price & these days there are
     Fact checking sites); I was at Woodstock & I lived through the 60’s-70’s, we had more drugs than you can count. But we took responsibility for our own drug use, we didn’t blame the drugs or
     The Company’s that made them for getting us high. If we didn’t
     Want to get high we wouldn’t take them.

     If today’s addicts get high from drugs they should have enough smarts
     To stop taking them before they become addicted, if they don’t stop than they should not be blaming anyone but themselves since they
     Decided to continue to get high. It’s time for this generation to take
     Responsibility for their own bad decisions and grow up.

       I turned 13 in June 1960 .. .the 60’s encompassed ALL OF MY TEENAGE YEARS … and 12 yrs of parochial school taught me two things… responsibility and how to be sneaky and not get caught or be able to talk your way out of what you got caught doing. My high school had a demerit system and somehow I managed to get thru 4 yrs without getting one.. not that I did not deserve a few. most of the time I walked very near the “do not cross line” and other times I was walking straddling the line 🙂
