        Let's revive the correct expression: on a par. Not this invented on par beloved of journos writing in shorthand. Likewise in a shambles, not in shambles. Pedants'Revolt has spoken.

        There might be a correlation between #unemployment & #selfworth — if there’s nothing inspiring you, there’s no motivation either. If you live for #fridaynight fun, you’re bound for #workweek hell. We MUST find joy within ourselves & desire to learn and strive for a #natural #high

        Why wasn't addiction such a problem in Appalachia in other eras? In the late Nineteenth Century, when opium and its derivatives were legal? Why now? Because the culture and core values in rural America have been hollowed out. Because these people have forgotten who they are.
