Anyone see the movie Requim for a dream? I saw it yesterday with my 19 year old son, and it got me thinking. First, the movie is about junkies. They sit around smoking dope, shooting heroin, dealing drugs, snorting coke,prostituting, all the while seeming like nice little kids. In the end, One of them has an infected arm amputated, another one ends up in jail, a third becomes a prostitute, and the fourth in a mental hospital.
The movie made me think about something. The result of their drug use is exactly what the program preached would happen to us. This is what our parents thought was going to happen, and they responded by locking us away in the Seedstraightkids, Inc.. Some of them really thought that we would end up this way and rightously believed that Art Barker et al was our savior.
So to my parents, I understand and forgive you. If I truly believed one of my wonderfull children were dying, I do not know to what lengths I would go to to save them, but I do know I would take a bullet for either one of them.
