It's not at all obvious to me that this would be money well spent. Since the majority of children are also going to shop-lift, cheat on tests, drive under the influence, or exceed the speed limit, we should just erase all of those laws too... And since most Americans cheat on their taxes at some point in their lives (if only by working or selling something for cash and not declaring it), we should abolish collecting taxes. And since every corporate official is going to fail to disclose something they should have, or play loose with GAAP accounting principles, we should leave Ken Lay and his boys from ENE alone. I guess this means that there is nothing worth having a law for since everyone violates them at some point in their life (or want to)... And all of those "Just say no!" and "this is your brain on drugs" commercials were just wasted money as well.... Heck... since the vast majority of kids between 12 and 18 are going to do drugs, we should pass them out at school like condoms. In fact, give parents a tax credit to pay for their kid's drugs (or their own), since people like yourself seem so "accepting" of it. Hawk@haveatokeandasmile.com
