Last night I had to perform one of the most painful tasks I've ever had to do as a father. My daughter was assigned to research an article on the dangers of drug use with a focus on tobacco and I needed to help her. Torn between my desire to have her do well and sabotaging the project by inserting some real science into the propaganda, I had to censor the thoughts running through my mind. Drug Use? Tobacco? My understanding is that tobacco is STILL a legal product. It is STILL used responsibly by responsible adults. To place it in the same category as heroin and cocaine is absolutely absurd.

"We did, daddy, but the are doing it at the beginning of each term"
This is nuts! I am so sick and tired of the social engineering that goes on in our school system. Essentially, this MANDITORY organization, who has control of my children 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, spends 4 weeks out of the year telling my daughters that their father is a drug addict because he enjoys a pipe and a drink (yes, alcohol is included as a "drug"). I'm still trying to decide the best course of action but I have officially HAD IT!
so, surely it is about time for another post soon, right?? maybe?? hopefully?? i need my pipe fix!!!!
