I tried fighting the slide by opposing one of the main root causes of societal downfall which is drugs. When a growing number of people lack self respect because they are hooked on drugs then any far leftist agenda becomes not only possible but predictable.

Hysterical nonesense - only 2.3% of adult Americans are dependent on any illicit drug, far too small for a "main root cause."

Too bad I wasn’t joined by more people. Instead, for example, there was one poster with “Saint” in his name saying smoking dope is no big deal just like huffing turpentine.

Bet he didn't - have a link?

Only 2.3%? Really?

Sure that’s not 2.4%?

Are you hazily recalling the following statement - which was not by St_Thomas_Aquinas but varyouga and which doesn't say what you claimed?

"And even if you somehow got rid of all drugs, they will get high from their own fermented feces or turpentine." - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3303004/posts?page=41#41
