Larry Lilly’s Letter Thursday April 6, 2006
You never know just where you may learn something fascinating. At least to you. I learned something the other day that kept me thinking for several days and nights. As I talked about it seemingly everybody knew this before me. Mom used to say, ‘Larry is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I often wonder if he is even in the drawer.’ There is the ‘Bertie’ influence again.
Do you know that Adolf Hitler, dead since 1945 is still killing American young people and wrecking havoc on millions of families and his brain child is becoming the number one law enforcement issue in the United States and several other countries? Tis true.
Methamphetamine, known by many different names, including yaba, crazy medicine, crystal meth or just plain Meth, has reached epidemic proportions in the United States.
During WW2 chemists working in Hitler’s labs developed the drug to increase the stamina of the butchers of The Third Reich enabling them to fight for days at a time with no rest. Meth produces a hallucinogenic effect similar to LSD and helps people to believe they are ‘super,’ attempts to fly sans a plane are not uncommon. The German soldier high on Meth was able to believe the lies concerning his innate super powers due to his Teutonic heritage.
Aside from the mental and emotional damage wrought by this drug, the physical deterioration is devastating. Using Meth is linked to lung and kidney disease, hallucinations, and paranoia, to say nothing of the devastation to teeth and vision.
A friend of mine, who is a Deputy Sheriff shared and this much more info with me as he talked about intensifying Meth Educational programs in schools around the county and state. In one area students enrolling in treatment programs jumped 970% in a two year period.
Our federal government, the states and localities are doing much to stem the tide.
We who know Christ must stay in the fore of this battle and help folks to understand that any life aside from the one outlined in the Bible will in time demand ‘super performers’ who find they are unable to cope with the lifestyle and predictably turn to something, Meth, Alcohol or whatever in order to believe they are above the Lord’s way and something to dull the pain of emptiness in their heart.
My friend, Conrad Munn survived the Battle of The Bulge and would talk for hours of how the German soldiers ‘fought like they were crazy.’ Conrad has gone on to his reward and it is pretty sure that he knows what you and I now know; They fought like that because they were ‘crazy,’ crazy on Meth, as are too many Americans today in our homes, schools and even factories.
