| Message | "Mommy, can I use substances that will turn me into a braindead slob or possibly kill me? The government says it is ok." What a great feature to be teaching children! Don't underestimate the power of example and persuasion. What people do impacts other people whether they realize it or not. Drunken and stoned people puking in the streets and passing out in people's yards with complete support of the government cannot stand. When will we learn that laissez-faire doesn't work for economics and it will not work for civil "liberties"? Purity is the essence of strength; both moral and physical. Together we prevail, together we have strength; but when members are shooting up in the back, we have no strength and cannot progress with a single mind. We vote a resounding NO! C'est ensemble que nous prévalons! Pour la Patrie! |

| Message | I don't underestimate the power of example and persuasion. Those are things that parents do; they aren't legislated. There's some Gandhi quote about the freedom to make mistakes... Anyways, Gandhi rocks. |
