This is an issue even the trashiest of news stations isn't addressing. They are more concerned with the environment, politics, violence, and of course, celebrities. But what about the normal everyday people? People who are not living below the poverty line, and are not overly concerned about driving an SVU. People who have never run for office then subsequently become part of major scandal by lying, cheating, or lying about being a raging homosexual. These people are are good people, majority of the year. They are not sinners or saints, but rather a quite entertaining and heartfelt mix of the two. These people however, are taking Spring Break just a little too far. They go on vacation, have a blast and then one to two weeks later they are back to the daily grind. Or are they?
All of a sudden a casual weekday beer becomes 2-27 weekday beers. A cocktail party becomes a cockshow rave. There is no hesitation when it comes to getting completely out of hand at friends parents house, among distinguished adults. A margarita on the weekend becomes two pitchers and a series of ridiculous photographs....
These are real people. I know them, you know them. Yet this phenomenon goes largely unnoticed.
I urge you, pay attention to this issue. Read the books, go to the fund raisers. GET INVOLVED PEOPLE! Make signs and attend local protests. Perhaps become the vice president then when no longer in office make a stirring documentary about the issue. Most of all, just care.
If you or a loved one is suffering from this issue currently sweeping about 7% of the nation please send photographic evidence to me and I PROMISE I will call attention to your plight.
