Obviously her upbringing was atrocious, but aren't the nature of the principles more at fault than the strictness of the community's adherence to those principles?

| Anyone who thinks that marijuana would not adversely affect one's ability to operate machinery has either never taken it or has never been around anyone who has.

| WTF? Burying the lead up to this incident with threats is so ridiculous it boggles the mind. It was a tragedy we'd all wish never happened, but thwarting transparency just feeds Conspiratorial idiots. |

Woot, Victory..in Regulation time!

| This argument does not really help the cause. Just another, "I got mine, so fluff off!" No Man/Woman is an island, we all rely on each other to some extent. If that makes us "Indentured", why does the mythical 1% think they can be separate from the equally mythical 99%? The good ... |

| Jeezus, PA, are you really still coming out with the argument that anybody that's concerned about global warming has to live in a cave? You can't live in this society and not use oil.
