mike...we have our own moral compass..if we are enlightened young enough we know the scoreboard and act accordingly.. many young uns know nothing! and as adults know nothing..and they vote.. law can be an honourable profession but in many instances it merely backs up the status quo.. merle
Joe, That's just being wilfully blind to human experience though. Humans have taken drugs to change their consciousness since time immemorial - always have and always will. How is a kid expected to "respect the law" when they see adult society drinking and smoking (causing uncountable damage to their health and the wider community) and yet they go to jail for smoking a little pot? The law is an ass and it's written by liars and thieves. Did 4 years of law school and couldn't wait to get out. Mike Sent from Yahoo!

Some do. Like me: I did not take a drink in New Jersey until I was 21. I went just across the bridge to New York, where at 18 it was legal. --Joe PS (My Dad bought me my first "New Jersey" draught beer at a simple neighborhood working-man's bar on my 21st birthday. It was lovely. We walked the one block from the old family house, to there, and back, and then continued the party at home. Then I went out with friends. Ooh, days gone by... ). Still respecting the Law (in most respects). ;-) > uerusuboyo@... wrote: > > Merle, Since when do kids (never mind adults) "just wait"? Live and let live.
