Does America rely on criminals?
Lemme explain.
I walk through the mall today, and I probably notice 5-6 stores that openly display t-shirts, wall hangings and door covers that have marajuana leaves on them.
In a country where Marajuana is illegal, it seems part of us needs these things to show which side of the fence we stand on.
Now what really bothers me is that it's almost amazing how much America depends on this negative image. Not so much just drug-related things.
We watch movies where drugs, sex and violence run rampant. Our news covers only the most gruesome sex offenders and violent criminals. Without them, we would just be watching the weather for 30 minutes.
It seems to me we need those negative individuals to understand our own normality in the scheme of things. As if society in America relies on criminals to keep the base of it in what is "normal".
I dont even know if that makes sense.....someone agree with me?
