You (and I) lived in different conditions back then too. These days, kids
are going to do whatever they want, and if they don't like it, they can leave.

What the problem is today is that often times, they just go ahead and do exactly
that. It sucks, but really, reuniting with your daughter by renting a porno
is kind of a heavy price to pay for letting the kid have a drink a year before
the law says you can.

Yeah, but the world needs less people, and if it weren't for some jock getting
plowed at a kegger and crashing into another group from his party at 150 MPH,
we'd have a LOT more salesmen and business majors who get WAY too excited about
Dave Matthews and Pot. And for the girls, honestly, a bunch of college kids
who's only contribution is drunk pussy and a barely earned MRS degree? It's
not a tragedy. It's a merciful release, for both sides.

It's bad enough enough of these kids survive as long as they do. Without
any natural predators, save for ourselves, we're booming out of control
and if it weren't for our stupidity as kids (hell, as adults too) our president
would be a stupid drunken coked up frat bo....

..shit.

With emphasis on Babe. I hope.
