Where you want to admit it or not, legal drugs are a more responsible for deaths in the United States each year than illegal drugs are. There are lots of people addicted to illegal drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, meth amphetamines, and heroine. There are more people that are addicted to illegal drugs, such as tobacco and alcohol that killed thousands each year. It is estimated that alcohol and tobacco kill up to 10 times more each year in America than all illegal drugs combined. This is costing American taxpayer’s money each and every year. We are going to go over four ways that other people’s legal and illegal drugs habits cost you and I money each and every day.
The first way we will discuss the drugs affect American families is child and spousal abuse. The Department of Social Services is a state and federal funded program that taxpayer’s money goes to each year. Drugs cause many people, especially older men, to abuse their children and wives. Sadly this is mainly linked to a legal drug known as alcohol. If you think that alcohol is not dangerous, you should think again.
In America we have to support people on welfare, many of whom are drug dealers and their families. Taxes go up each and every year to help support programs such as welfare and food stamps here in America. Many of these programs unfortunately support drug dealers and their families, mainly illegal drug dealers. The legal drug dealers, such as Anheuser-Busch and Philip Morris, do not require government support. They make billions of dollars each year illegally selling tobacco and alcohol.
Many taxpayers’ dollars go towards special education needs of children harmed from their mothers because they were using drugs while they were pregnant. Drugs cause many birth defects each and every year in America. Many of these children have to go to special schools and get special education that you and I pay for.
The last thing we are going to discuss is the increased taxes to pay for police protection. The reason we need more police protection is because there are a growing number of robberies and murders that are directly related to drugs. Many people on drugs will rob, kill, and steal from anybody they come in contact with to get their next fix. It is unfortunate that we have to keep paying for more police officers each year because of this terrible tragedy.

Shoe Repairs And Several Other Things When I Was 7
Shoe Repairs And Several Other Things When I Was 7
My Dad repaired most of our shoes believe it or not, I can hardly believe it myself now. With 7 pairs of shoes always needing repairs I think he was quite clever to learn how to “Keep us in shoe Leather” to coin a phrase!
He bought several different sizes of cast iron cobbler’s “lasts”. Last, the old English “Laest” meaning footprint. Lasts were holding devices shaped like a human foot. I have no idea where he would have bought the shoe leather. Only that it was a beautiful creamy, shiny colour and the smell was lovely.
But I do remember our shoes turned upside down on and fitted into these lasts, my Dad cutting the leather around the shape of the shoe, and then hammering nails, into the leather shape. Sometimes we’d feel one or 2 of those nails poking through the insides of our shoes, but our dad always fixed it.
Hiking and Swimming Galas
Dad was a very outdoorsy type, unlike my mother, who was probably too busy indoors. She also enjoyed the peace and quiet when he took us off for the day!
Anyway, he often took us hiking in the mountains where we’d have a picnic of sandwiches and flasks of tea. And more often than not we went by steam train.
We loved poking our heads out of the window until our eyes hurt like mad from a blast of soot blowing back from the engine. But sore, bloodshot eyes never dampened our enthusiasm.
Dad was an avid swimmer and water polo player, and he used to take us to swimming galas, as they were called back then. He often took part in these galas. And again we always travelled by steam train.
Rowing Over To Ireland’s Eye
That’s what we did back then, we had to go by rowboat, the only way to get to Ireland’s eye, which is 15 minutes from mainland Howth. From there we could see Malahide, Lambay Island and Howth Head of course. These days you can take a Round Trip Cruise on a small cruise ship!
But we thoroughly enjoyed rowing and once there we couldn’t wait to climb the rocks, and have a swim. We picnicked and watched the friendly seals doing their thing and showing off.
Not to mention all kinds of birdlife including the Puffin.The Martello Tower was also interesting but a bit dangerous to attempt entering. I’m getting lost in the past as I write, and have to drag myself back to the present.
Fun Outings with The camera Club
Dad was also a very keen amateur photographer, and was a member of a camera Club. There were many Sunday photography outings and along with us came other kids of the members of the club.
And we always had great fun while the adults busied themselves taking photos of everything and anything, it seemed to us. Dad was so serious about his photography that he set up a dark room where he developed and printed his photographs.
All black and white at the time. He and his camera club entered many of their favourites in exhibitions throughout Europe. I’m quite proud to say that many cups and medals were won by Dad. They have been shared amongst all his grandchildren which I find quite special.
He liked taking portraits of us kids too, mostly when we were in a state of untidiness, usually during play. Dad always preferred the natural look of messy hair and clothes in the photos of his children.
