Wow, I sure am glad we got that out in the open. I thought it was long
hair that made druggies (at least that's what they told me when I had long
hair). I immediatly cut my hair when I was told that because I didn't want
to do drugs just because I had long hair.

You'll get a kick out of this, but the really successful drug dealers and
gangland members don't dress that way. They have suits and ties and hire
nice big expensive lawyers. They have offices in midtown manhatten, and
downtown LA. I suggest you get your head out of the TV crap and start
dealing with the reality that the real bad boys have college degrees...

Bullcrap. Society has no right to establish rules that get in the way of
the freedoms that most of use deserve. Punnish the innocent? I don't
agree. Hold parents responsible. Throw their kids out when they deserve to
be thrown out. School is not a playground or a babysitter for parents.
