"and despite what a certain jackass might say there is very little in the way of substance abuse problems. "

To state again, I made zero disparaging remarks against anyone with views that differ from mine.

But on to substance abuse. Those that do not think that there is a problem in big cities, suburbs, and right here in hill and mountain country live in a fantasy world.

I never stated that this area is worse than average. I stated that it is the same. The Lakes Region is not some island where these problems don't exist.

Whenever I do meet parents with teenage children in school and the conversation turns to drugs and alcohol. It always seems that these same parents state that it is "not my children" but "other children" to misuse prescription drugs, illegal drugs, and alcohol. But who are these "other" children? And who are the parents of these "other" children?

Some should take a careful look into the mirror. I stated some didn't I? Not all.
