Good Evening Seb,B-Cat,All other bro/sis folk who would have to be to frequent this place,
To use a small analogy to perhaps,put the Dark and the Light of the areas to which we are transversing(hence the"meth"as the dark,the"Coke"as the light)into perspective,lets use 3 characters.The 3 that would best fit this analogy that come to my"grey,some pink,some chartruese"brain,are the jock,the Momma,s Boy,and the "hippie-freak"(AKA E.Estevez,A.M.Hall,Judd Nelson)in 1985,s"The Breakfast Club".The first 2 guys would probly be the "Coke sniffers",they fit the mold of the Class and the Bucks that go with those particular types.The third guy is gonna be the classic Meth type,the mold is there,middle or lower-middle class,with not a lot of bucks,Methis much cheaper than Coke and can be made by most anyone that can get the ingredients.You always see Meth labs in the Dark side of town.The jock and the Brain are from normal families that try to raise their kids to be the "ideal"students so they will grow to be part of the Beautiful People(the wealthy).The "punk,freak,thief,hippie"kid is sub-raised by older punk,freak,hippie types who have abused themselves ,grew up to become nothing and take their misery out on their children,as in the case of the kid Judd Nelson played(superbly,I thought.Remember the cigar burn on his arm?)If you think about the differences in the totally 2 different worlds these 3 kids grew up in,you see that something is wrong in all of them.Yet ,thwe one who is probably most sure of himself is Judd Nelson,s character,cause he know,s the"Dark Side"and shows it to the others who can only guess what it must be like,having been sheltered all their lives.They will be the ones to grow into drug users,only they will be the legal kind.I,m sure genetics play a huge part in how we turn out,but we can go for decades un-diagnosed with some of the things that we discover about ourselves later on.Were they there all along?Did they come about as a result of a bad childhood?Or could they even evolve later in life because we had too good of a childhood,created scene-by-scene by our protective,insecure parents?Festus
