I agree that it can't hurt. I don't think it will make even a minor dent in the problem but time will tell. I remember several commercials over many decades directed at other types of drug users. Minimal impact. Everyone knows what alcohol abuse can do to you yet how many people still drink heavily? We all know what smoking can do to you yet people still smoke heavily despite all sorts of warnings and attempts to curtail smoking. The most effective technique for fighting drug, alcohol, and smoking abuse has been through classroom instruction in the schools. Yes, I totally agree with you in teaching about drug addiction in school. The thing about using real people with real stories is because the only person an addict or alcoholic will listen to is another addict or alcoholic. These real people don't gloss over anything. They are usually in recovery or recovered themselves. And if kids could listen to these stories instead of some glossed over edition of addiction being read out of a book by a teacher,that would be awesome. But then you get into what can be said and what can't be said and the stalemate seems to continue for years.Here I disagree with you. OK, here you go.
I really don't like lumping together "liberals" into one category. Do you like it when I say Conservatives don't give a damn about providing health care to the poor? Obamacare certainly has its faults but Trumpcare was FAR worse. Luckily members of the Senate recognized that.
You have a point. No,I do not like it when groups of people are lumped together. I'm an independent - but there is no party as such - so it's the Republicans. But not all Republicans are conservatives. Just as not all Democrats are liberals.
Unfortunately , in my opinion, is taking us backwards. Trade wars. Hated by other countries. Tax reform that gave millions to corporations and the rich and left crumbs for the middle class. Yes I cry because people are blind to FACTS. I keep asking you the positives that have happened in 18 months under Trump and the best you can come up with is he MIGHT be helping the military and there is a commercial coming for opioid prevention Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX
