A friend emailed this to me.

The other day someone at the co-op read that a methamphetamine lab had
been found in an old farm house in the adjoining county and he asked me a
rhetorical question, "Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were
growing up?" It just so happened that I had saved something that had been
e-mailed to me a few weeks ago. So, I printed off a copy and took it to him
the next day. I smiled when I handed it to him and said, "I did have a drug
problem when I was a kid growing up on the farm in Nebraska." Here's what
the sheet said:

I had a drug problem when I was young: I was drug to church on Sunday
morning. I was drug to church for weddings and funerals. I was drug to
family reunions and community socials no matter the weather. I was drug by
my ears when I was disrespectful to adults and teachers. I was also drug to
the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents or if I didn't put forth my best
effort in everything that was asked of me. I was drug out to pull weeds in
Mom's garden and flower beds and sandburs out of the yard. Those drugs are
still in my veins; and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, and
think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack or heroin, and if today's
children had this kind of drug problem, America might be a better place
today!
