Not all lists are good

Not all lists are good and uplifting. This is one of those occasions.

There is part of the blogger platform that allows you to see statistics to help you make your site better. Sometimes the statistics and information is simply sad. This is one of those days.

One of the informative items is a list of keywords that people searched for in google or some other search engine, that brought them to my website. The image below shows the terms used to find 'This is Smyrna' for the last month.


Of the 10 search terms or phrases, half of them are about the drug Molly. Molly is MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methamphetamine) in a crystallized form.

Back in January 2012 I did a single post that mentioned Molly and a Smyrna Police drug Bust. One single time. This is disheartening on so many levels. TN-Zero is a local task force set up to deal with the problems of 'Bath Salt' style drugs, and drugs in general. If this shows the depth of the problem, then they really have a lot of work ahead of them.
