When I was quite young, that is in the early 1960s, our school had a number of speakers come in to our school. I don’t remember if the one particular speaker was from the government or perhaps from Alcoholics Anonymous but I do remember the message. The man said, “The only way to avoid becoming an alcoholic is to never take the first drink.” The sheer logic struck me quite clearly. The implication was that if you never start drinking alcohol you can’t become an alcoholic. Fifty years ago, alcoholism was a problem and it’s still a problem today. Everybody has seen or been affected by alcoholism.

In just about every TV show, on-line story or in actual conversations, I hear so much negativity.
The TV shows are a riot, especially the real estate ones. A couple looks at three houses, picks the one best suited to them and then goes hard on renovations. The initial negativity really galls me.
