    If you'd worked with them, you wouldn't be asking the question.

    These kids do have problems and the drugs, including pot, feed the problem in a vicious cycle of self-destruction. You don't break that cycle by giving moral approval to one of the primary agents feeding it.

    People call Republicans harsh and callous, but to my mind the libertarian ideology that calls for the legalization of a substance that rots away the dignity, self-worth, "human-ness," potential, and future of those who use it are the true heartless monsters of our society.
