I personally believe that Capitalist society treats its citizens as nothing but consumers.

Our only purpose as consumers is to consume.

There are many legal and destructive drugs which destroy us. We begin as children with processed sugar. That gives us a taste of our first high, or "sugar rush".

We graduate to caffeine when we are a little bit older.

Finally, we graduate to alcohol and other drugs.

The leaders of society tell us that they have our best interest in mind, and they establish agencies to "fight drugs", meanwhile, the most potent and destructive drugs are all available at the corner store.

We judge and condemn people using "illegal" drugs as trash, bums, low lifes, all while pumping our children and each other with legal drugs which destroy our health and dignity, and which are far more destructive than "illegal" drugs.

We use the economically and socially compromised individuals as a scapegoat, as something to make ourselves feel better about our own choices. We pretend to want to help them as well.

As I said already, society is a farce for the insane.
