The War on Drugs, and the American Way

This is what happens when unchecked consumerism turns to hedonism.

It’s sad to see people that have no idea that their lives were going to end. I can imagine that all of them woke up, and their deaths where the furthest thought from their mind, yet, their lives will be cut short by bullets. This attack has its origins in the narco trade between the USA and Mexico’s drug cartels, and what is fueling the chaos? Americans demand for drugs and pleasure or unchecked hedonism.

Most people will fail to see the connection between this brutal attack on four innocent people and American search of pleasure, however, the link between the two is painfully obvious. We are part of the blame of what happened there. We, Americans, are taught that we must seek pleasure, in any form, whether it be: drugs, alcohol, food, clothing, and the list continues. Through TV, movies, or any form of media. We are taught that doing what feels good is ok and good. That there is no universal belief of what is right and what is wrong. We are taught that right and wrong is open to personal interpretation.

It is a combination of a lack of fundamental morals and the search of pleasure that has cause the need of drugs, obesity, and other negative cancers to flood our society. As long as Americans seek drugs, remember we are the number 1 consumer of illegal narcotics, violence and death shall stalk those who are innocent and defenseless.

The drug user doesn’t care about the deaths of innocent people, they have no second thought that their money shall be used to corrupt government and spread death. The drug dealer doesn’t care for as long as there is demand, he will supply no matter the cost.
