When I say “Morality” I’m talking about being a good person; not being a drunken fool, respecting one’s body and the body of others, being honest even when it may hurt you, and other things of the sort.
Am I the only one in this fading Republic that has any sense of decency and good judgment? It seems everywhere I look I see nothing but pot heads, booze hounds, and whores!
Marijuana, has such an effect on people it really is astounding. Throughout middle school and high school I have watched numerous people turn from normal kids to complete grass loving failures. A have lost many a friend because of this drug and it disappoints me; the same with alcohol.
I cannot begin to describe the look of joy on peoples’ faces when they know they are going home to get drunk. When did alcohol become such a fascination with everyone? What is the big deal?
Then of course there are the whores and the pig bastards that fuck’em. Disgusting filthy urchins of disease who flood my visions every God damn school day make me want to puke!
Son of Bitch!
We need some discipline in this country, we really fucking do. Parents and teachers are such pussies! They never punish any of these bastards no matter atrocity they commit. There are no authority figures in this land of the free.
What is truly appalling is that I feel completely alone in my stance on this. As if every thing I have been taught about right and wrong, having self respect, and being respectful to your elders is nothing but complete horseshit. Well, fuck it. I’ll stand alone because I know what is right.

Potheads and whores...?
Way to generalize...
Also, a comedian, hence my initial reaction to this blog being "Moral, like that's a word."
But I digress, I see the point you are making, and you are clearly venting some serious rage. Your hasty generalizations reveal how truly alone you feel, but also make you sound rather arrogant and antisocial.
You are not alone in having a sense of decency. You may be a bit unusual in that you correlate decency with chastity and sobriety and demonize stupidity.
Weed and Alcohol help people escape real life, because let's face it: life sucks. The reason many people become "addicted" to such drugs is due to neurochemistry. Their brain structure either makes them an addictive personality, or the sheer amount of stress in their lives causes their brain structure to change until it seems that the only thing good in their lives is the drug, or they simply lack the ability/capacity/intelligence to see beyond instant gratification until the long-term and/or overload effects of such gratification kicks their asses.
Sex is a similar form of escapism, also wrapped up with emotional vulnerability, lack of self-esteem, and sometimes addiction.
As for punishing these people, what would be the point? They're punishing themselves and laughing about it. If we lock them away in jail or hurt them, they only invent justifications, grow anger and resentment toward us, and either become violent against us or simply revert back to their coping mechanisms and their ignorance.
They will either learn their lessons themselves, or they will die. Why would we punish them for punishing themselves? They hurt others with their carelessness, true, but it is more than that. They hurt us because they disappoint us, we who thought humans had some kind of sacred dignity. No wonder so many religions invent some kind of Hell: they want these people to hurt and punished because that idea of human dignity must be upheld.
I do not believe in a sacred human dignity. Humans are just another kind of animal, and are at the mercy of the biochemistry that makes up our bodies and brains. Much of it is determined genetically, and so many people cannot help that they are easily addicted to something unless they somehow accomplish the difficult task of recognizing and defeating their own nature. Some people, rare and inspiring, are truly good: Ghandi, Mother Theresa, Albert Einstein, and others. The rest of us can hope to aspire to such ideals, but in many cases we must conquer large parts of ourselves to do it, and there is no fight in the world more difficult.
