<<...particularly when it comes to restricting individual behaviors? This is the weak point in discussions of enforcing standards in attire and in the current discussion.>> Ah...here is the problem, you are right. Would you be so kind as to point out to me the restrictions I have imposed, recommended, or other wise offended you with? <<Do you know anyone personally who has smoked or otherwise ingested marijuana for recreational purposes?>> Dozens. <<Did you watch Reefer Madness once too often?>> I see. hmmm...Here is a film that is completely outrageous. Some bozo thought that by sensationally exagerating the effects of marijuana, he would frighten people so much that they would be afraid to question his point of view. Ironically it has it has been used that way to point the finger of blackmail at anyone who would dare to ask a question about the holy water of the pop-culture, D&A. (See brees, you are like the people who made this movie, a crazed wild eye fanatic picking on the poor mellow stoner minding his own business) Now I am supposed to try to prove I am just as cool as the next guy. Right? <<However, there are plenty of people who have a glass of wine with dinner and manage not to head straight for the nearest gutter. Likewise, there are plenty of people who smoke a joint now and then and suffer no deleterious effects and who certainly don't move along to any other drugs.>> Which means what? That you too cool folk should mention the Reefer Madness movie everytime something unfortunate happens or when there are indemic problems in the culture that we don't want to talk about. So you can have your nervous giggle and so that we'll be calm and quite because thats the way you like us. Sorry, we care.
