While there is no specific doctrine opposing drug use, there is doctrine that holds the law of the land up as church doctrine. Hence, LDS doctrine (in the US at least) forbids illegal substances. Kind of a circular logic thing, but that's that. Interestingly enough, that's really the only reason that we mormons do not practice puligamy anymore. It was made illegal so as to persecute us, and as soon as that happened, we stopped. Funny how that stuff works, now quit picking on me and my mormon cohorts.
Oh, and as for D.A.R.E... Well I took DARE class from a police officer who would take smoke breaks during our dare lessons, classy? Undoubtedly. I do not use drugs, but I don't think it has much to do with my DARE education. DARE may have changed a lot though. I was in one of the first DARE classes so I'm sure it's a bit different. All I remember is that there were 8 ways to say no, including the broken record, claiming allergic reaction, and a few others. Heaven forbid you actually stand up for yourself and tell your peers what you think. Come to think of it, maybe this is what's wrong with our MTV society today, damn DARE class, first the broken record, now Britney Spears...
I'm a huge Metallica fan. Lars is the reason I'm a drummer today. But something in an interview with James from "Behind the music" (I think) when he was talking about how he started to like the Misfits, when Cliff gave him a tape and they played it in the van all summer long, made me curious. Have any of you (Metallica) ever copied a tape, record, 8-track, CD, etc. from a friend? This is an infringement of copyright isn't it? I don't mean to make you seem evil, but is it simply the scale of Napster/mp3's that is of concern? PS I feel very bad about doing this as I tend to side with Metallica on the issue! Ian Farrell
And here's the correction I'd like to see. You say that Metallica is ruining it for all the new, hip fresh-start, Internet-savy(okay, so it's not an exact quote!) bands. How? I see them protecting their copyrighted material. This doesn't say anything about destroying Napster, or bands or labels that don't care about free distribution. It may make Napster a little less comprehensive, but maybe it should be. No matter how you wanna look at it, it is at least shady, at most scandalous. Sure, I use it all the time, but no more Metallica for me. I respect them, I love their music, and I'll pay because it's worth it. I guess that statement made me biased, but oh, well...
Sure, they claim that these phone calls and e-mails are anonymous, but when it comes time to take someone to court, the prosecuter is gonna want a person, not an anonymous coward (tm). 911 is recorded. Thanks to doubleclick et. al. all our internet traffic is most likely recorded. Even though it may not be paper, there's a trail...

FP?
