If our teens follow in our filthy example of footsteps, who in the name of God Himself, do ya think is going to take over our many many professions, when we’re all in the old folks home, being spoon fed & diaperred ???? Hmmmmmmm ?

Oh, and one more thing………..
I think sales of liquor will maintain themselves or increase, as what as already been noted……
As good old alcohol, has always been so reliable to quench ones nerves during a stressful situation………like……….oh……….lets say extremely hard times ???
Or………………no…………………….RECESSION ya huh ?!?

May God help us all !
