Chris, When I was up in VA & big time involved with kids,

A local cop & I were talking about crack in the schools. I indicated that I didn't understand how they could afford it. He said that I should look at the school's student parking lot as most of the kids were driving nicer cars than he was.

I don't think its a function of price. I do totally agree with you about peer pressure. A poem to share:

By Albert l. Burke

Mr. C No. 2 (Capitalism)

Educate the masses --
tell them of my acclaim,
They'll find fortune and riches,
and they'll worship my name.

We'll show them how wonderful
it is to be free.
But we'll never tell them,
that they're slaves under me.

They'll fight and they'll struggle,
and they'll seek high esteem;
but they won't know til they get there,
that they sought a bad dream.
