There is quite a great deal to disturst in outside cultures. Cultural relativism is very 1990's.

In Canada, where crime is already very low, an area that has even lower crime from the usual, is very very low crime.
And drugs are not destroying small towns. That is a 'moral panic'. People in small towns have lives that are so safe and secure, than any little problem can seem like a crises. Clearly, addiction and abuse are problems, but far from destroying these cities.

If these drugs he's mentioning are meth, it's far from Moral panic...I doubt the small town meth problem is american exclusive.....Meth isn't called Hill Billy Heroin for nothing.
They even went so far as to lock up cough medicine behind the counter on a nation-wide scale for certain types that can be used for Meth Production. |
