    So . . . I suspect are more than enough examples of folx losing all their fricking money and being poor again

    So . . .they decided to be "good guys"
    to not lose the golden opportunity their skills has afforded them
    unlike previous . . . .

    i.e. They have learned that the hangers on etc not worth it

    SINCE THIS CAME UP . . .

    I can honestly say I am looking forward to LeBron's new Show
    "Survivor's Remorse" <--- it actually looks like it could be entertaining
    and enlightening

    I know that this isn't the D&D, but I have to say that I don't believe this one bit. Not to say that meth isn't a terrible drug with devastating consequences. But as of 2010 roughly 81% of Americans live in urbanized areas, with 19% living in rural. That alone would prevent the detriments of meth use by rural citizens from reaching the level of what crack cocaine has done to inner cities and its affect on nation.

    No doubt meth is a huge issue in rural America, mostly because it can be made entirely with resources that can be found locally, but let's not lose context. Meth isn't going to shut down America.

    Also, crack cocaine isn't just a inner city Black America problem; its an AMERICA problem. At the height of the crack epidemic in 1991 52% of crack users were white, 38% black, and 10% Hispanic. Now convictions are an ENTIRELY different story, but I digress...
