America the High?
Original Air Date: July 12, 2008 AudioLink_2008_0712
Show Category: Addiction
Show Description: We're number 1. We're number 1. We're number 1. No, this isn't a chant I am using to get ready for the upcoming Olympics. This is a cold hard fact about America and drug use. That's right, we are number one in drug use by percentage of population than any other country in the world (including the Netherlands). Why is it that a country where 4 out of 5 say faith is important to our lives, we have such an astonishing drug usage?

E-mail From Listeners
"But shortly after you took the call from the Muslim gentleman I could see it would not take the direction that I had hoped for. I did not think it was appropriate in the way that you handled his call. He should not have been cut off in the way that he was. Are we not to be Ambassadors for Christ?"
