Re: ...get "high" as they call it and then "play" the piano and think what they are doing is wonderful. Wasn't that scene straight out of the movie Reefer Madness? Hilarious bit of fluff, that. A fine example of propaganda to achieve bureaucratic aims in it's day. A classic of Big Government exposition. (Thanks for reminding us of it. Second best laugh of the day. :)

Paret, I'm starting to feel sorry for you so let me help you out. You're doing more to further my cause than I ever could and looking like a right wing nut while your doing it. Using a personal attack type smear campaign only would work if the person you're debating with stoops down to your level. I really thought that you'd be smart enough to understand that. You can only kill an idea with other ideas. Personal attacks are not ideas, they're just a by product of someone that doesn't have the necessary tools to win a debate on the strength of their own convictions. I'm sure that you don't like to see that when liberals and conservatives debate, (I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here), so why do it yourself?
