But he puts even more responsibility on churches. “Go find a Christian church that will be Christian,” he said. He talked about a community that had asked him to speak. LeClerc “We, our generation, give our kids and grandkids more than we ever had. They don’t pay rent. They don’t buy their stuff. They have the highest disposable income of any group. And they have become a target market for advertisers, starting at 11. We don’t do anything about it. We raise our kids and our grandkids on TV. Kids have televisions and computers in their rooms. We took our kids’ minds and gave them away. Something is wrong when we let technology abscond with the the role of parents. Take a stand. Do something,” Serge LeClerc, MLA, author, motivational speaker and former drug lord told Foam Lake’s adults following a potluck supper on January 8.

Ethyl alcohol’ or ‘ethanol’ is the principle ‘chemical’ within an alcohol drink that causes the impact upon the body and brain to produce the feeling of being ‘drunk’, and which causes the damage to the brain of a developing foetus within the mother’s womb. It is this chemical/poison which the European throughout thousands of years began to develop a resistance to which has limited the damage to their bodies, and to their off-spring who now occupy North America. Nonetheless, the damage we see today to a person’s body as the result of chronic drinking is startling but would be far greater if those bodies did not develop some ‘adaption factor’ through genetic strengthening of the body by inter-generational usage.

On this note, insert the Aboriginal body which never consumed alcohol until the European came to North America. They had no immune system build up to the ethanol; much as they had no immune system familiarity to the ‘Small Pox’ or ‘Flu’ virus which proceeded to decimate the First nation population in epidemic like fashion within short order. They of course, after exposure to the virus’s, did build a resistance to them within their immune system similar to the European who brought it with them. Unfortunately, the same can not be said to the alcohol epidemic now running plague like throughout the First Nations of North America as thousands of years will be needed to build the same resistance to the poison within alcohol – and the damage to the Aboriginal body is horrendous.

Just to recap some of the statistics of the plague of alcohol upon our modern day society and our young people:

Alcohol usage or misuse and alcohol related deaths are the number one killer of that same age bracket;

What numerous people do not realize is that many, if not most of the 50,000 cases of alcohol poisoning in the United States each year do not result from alcohol addiction, but rather from instance of alcohol abuse. Indeed, binge drinking, a type of alcohol abuse, leads to perhaps the majority of alcohol overdose cases that are reported each year. Obviously, many people are not aware of this information or about alcohol facts such as these.

While underage drinking is a factor in nearly in nearly half of all teen automobile crashes, the leading cause of death among teenagers. (more…)
