"Don't
Talk To Strangers" hasn't lost its impact from parents of
every generation
The "Say No To Drugs" is reaching the wrong audience,
according to Eric R. Danton, Hartford Courant, a daily in
Connecticut. He is the rock critic.
Danton says that "many dealers sell drugs because it's the
fastest, easiest way they know to make money, which they need to
buy the one thing that truly matters to them: STATUS.
He refers to Rapper 50 Cent, who owns a mansion in Farmington, CT.
He has written a book, an autobiography, From Pieces to Weight.
He has cooked and sold cocaine when he was 11 years old. He
learned the lucrative economics of the street instead of applying
for college. He wrote that the idea of going to school for another
six years to make less money than he could make in six months is
laughable.
He made $24.9 million in earnings as a rapper last year, according
to Rolling Stone Status.
You cannot reach this group until they decide that drugs are BAD
to deal or to take. This group never will be reached with
"SAY NO TO DRUGS" if they ever see the message. It is
too bad!
"Don't Talk to Strangers"
When I was a small child, my mother always said: "Don't Talk
To Strangers." I am sure that my friends who had a horrible
experience recently were given the same advice.
My friends are opening a small deli restaurant. The husband
received a traffic violation and had to appear in court.
While in court, they met a couple who were there for a violation.
They became friends and invited them to their condo. They asked
the "friends" to help them install sinks in their
restaurant. They said: "Yes."
The "friends" took mattresses from the condo and stayed
at the store to install the sinks. That is not all they took. They
had drinking parties at the store and shared cocaine with others.
My friends were in the hole for helping these people get their car
out. It was impounded. They also had other expenses totaling
$2,000. My friends changed the locks on the restaurant and their
condo after they got rid of them. Asked if they would talk to
strangers again, they said "Never!" Our parents did give
good advice way back then. We should take it. |
