Mr(?) G. Moore I am in a hurry at the moment and should probably spend more time putting a letter together that doesn't seem so rushed, however, some things must be done pronto.

The age of those most at danger from drug abuse are teenagers. The critical age to effectively educate a youth and 'launch' him/her into a decent society is during the teenage years. The 'launch window' for our youth is very narrow; very critical. It is the most impressionable age group.

To develop this agegroup into a beneficial element in society demands uncompromising, thorough and dedicated protection and nurturing. To allow any form of negative influence which can, even minutely, divert this agegroup from its essential straight and high-aiming trajectory is fatal to our society. The 'fallout' from one single fallen teenager is detrimental and disastrous to us all.

Marijuana is like a faulty 'O' rind in the fuel system of a shuttle. It is an apparently simple object and cheap, however, when allowed to exist in a critical environment in a faulty state (pot being permanently 'faulty') then what results is absolute catastrophy.

Any American who has faith in his origins and his nation cannot afford to regard seemingly harmless letters such as G. Moores as trivial. The suggestive nature and 'change-by-degree' method of persuasion is going to cause your nation to fall. Rome fell.

Have you forgotten your history? What number of graves around the world today contain the bones of brave Americans who did their duty to ensure that their loved ones and fellow countrymen were allowed to thrive in safety and in real freedom? How many of these dead ancestors would be weeping in their graves at what is going?

What you are facing is a battle which also faces your friendly allies around the world. We must all scrutinise and discriminate objects in our societies which are causing the downfall of our cultures (especially those which are subtle in nature and apparently innocent).

It seems the war we have on our hands is far more challenging than those fought with heavy guns. Stand up Americans! and fight for your history's sake, your own sake and your especially your youths sake who are your nations future!
