Beginning to suspect something

Recently, Limbaugh was touting increased life expectancy as a reason for people to be confident.  But that number has been going down lately.

Young men using drugs and suicides were among the reasons given.

But I have been saying for a long time here that this country reached a peak in the late sixties, and it hasn't been improved upon yet.  That was GDP in terms of gold per person.

Even if you dispute the significance of GDP in terms of gold per person, you cannot dispute a falling life expectancy.

Computers may still be getting better, but even that seems to have slowed down.

One of my riders said that the water in Lake Mead is "nasty".  Why would that water be bad?  She then said something I remember hearing about before--- the possibility of dead bodies being in the water.

So, I begin to suspect that this may be happening in many places in this country.  After all, if you want to dispose of a dead body, where could you take it where it couldn't be found?

There was a story I heard about a dead body found in a barrel in one of the lakes around here.  So, it isn't just in the Vegas area, ya know?

Since the recent flood here, the water seems darker.  One can attribute that to the sand and silt that may be mixed in, but this has been awhile now.  It should be clearing out.  I asked my rider if the water out there near Vegas is blue or not, and the answer wasn't in the affirmative.

I begin to suspect that water sources may be polluted by who knows what.  This also leads me to believe that our culture and country may be in a lot worse shape than I thought.  That would be saying something.

If this was accepted and acted upon in an expeditious way, it would be encouraging.  But there seems to be "resistance" to fixing what ails our country and our culture.

Did you ever notice how many people are turning to drugs?  Marijuana is legal, and so will be a lot of other drugs if this continues.  Something is systemically wrong.
