Those people -are- employed (and working harder for less pay than your average 9-5'er)........they aren't shirking anything, and approaching the entire subject (and all participants thereof) with such language (and the attendant philosophy) is unlikely to produce any amenable solution. The "effect" is largely down to where one finds oneself with the law - and how much money is left in ones pocket. The pills are more expensive but probably wont land you in jail. The meth is cheaper and probably will. One might consider that a "value-added" aspect of prescription drug abuse (thereby justifying -some- increase in price). On the other hand, the pills have quality standards attached - so there's that as well. All in all, it's a superior product consumed by a higher echelon of society. The difference between a Bickers Bar and a Snickers Bar.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
