America's Fentanyl Crisis!

America's Fentanyl Crisis . . . not only terribly sad, but (or should be) most alarming! 

It seems noteworthy that history is cluttered with how, not so long ago, Japan financed its military with drug money during World War II. Furthermore, after invading Manchuria in 1931, Japan reportedly turned much of northeast China into an opium plantation, then used the drug to subdue the population, and yes . . . used the profits to fund its military. 

Of course, in addition to the “supply” side of our present-day Fentanyl crisis, there exists the often disregarded “demand” factor. That is, our nation is not, for example, being cluttered with a life-threatening onslaught of “wheels for covered wagons,” . . . likely because there seems to not presently exist an unrelenting “demand” for such. 

And after all is said and done, or done and said . . . could just be that one day we may more responsibly grasp that there is likely no greatly successful “chemical/pill/etc. solution” for what may well be a “spiritual problem” long wrestled with by we flawed human beings.
