I think that's the issue with your typical white, middle class North American these days. They have no real social issues to fight for of their own, so they adopt those of others. However, since it doesn't really affect them, they don't care if what they are doing truly has any positive value, just as long as it feels like it does. That's basically what is happening here. Just keep shovelling #$%@ against the tide and tell yourself that you're doing something good.

Strange times indeed where some can actually try to argue that helping someone else get high is a moral obligation.

Fantastic post, spot on.
