Saw a movie years ago titled 'The Perfect Drug.'  Bad day at the office, pop the perfect drug and all is well in la-la land.  BF or GF dumps you at school after a bad test, go to the vending machine and pop the perfect drug.  Young kids driving Mom crazy, same thing, pop the perfect drug and all is happy again.  The problem is what happened in China when the British East Indies Company and traders from the US got the country hooked on opium.  200 years ahead of most nations in science and tech they suddenly found themselves 200 years behind.  If you take away the drive and struggle for success and achievement you fall behind 'everyone.'  It's a major problem in the US and we are falling further and further behind other nations in almost every category.  There is no such thing as the perfect drug - PERIOD.  For those that think there is, it is an illusion or an excuse.  With no viable solution, we are unlikely to see the days again of 'America Great Again.'  To me, that would be so sad!
