#2 Perhaps nothing new to many of your but I experienced a new social dynamic yesterday as I walked through a very crowed O'Hare airport. Human drones walking mindlessly to and from their departure gates, eyes glued to the 'machines.' I slowed my gate and stepped around the first two or three. Encountering one portly middle-aged i-podologe blocking a narrow isle, I slowed to a near stop and politely said "excuse me." His total inattention and hesitation earned him a purposeful, shoulder and bug-out-bag impact of the shoulder as I moved by. I never looked back.

Cannibis and Champs failing credibiltiy are but symptoms of a self-absorbed, hurray for me fok U urban socker society. A society in my umble opinion, in total and irreversable decline.

#4 I wonder what our parents thought of kids in the 60's and 70's when they walked through a large crowd of them? Potheads, longhairs, hippies, druggies, just to mention a few.

#5 The study is a good first step. Next, I'd love to see a comparison with teens who drink daily... and what the brains of both groups looked like before they started, compared to the brains of teens who didn't. In other words, is it the chemical exposure that causes the problems, or is it that those with pre-existing problems seek out the chemicals? Or even that some of those with pre-existing problems permanently damage themselves when they choose to indulge, while those who don't are fine?

#6 ...either group will demand the rest of society support them in their later years. "Victims" they'll say. No one will push back as hard or not harder that these are the consequences of choices that humans have made for thousands of years and they should pay the consequences not the ones who did not make the choices. Guilt will be served generously as usual to steal from the productive to support the non-productive.

#7 I would like to see a study done of kids that get a job while in High School vs those that live off of parents and then eventual voting patterns that result.

#8 I'm going with "serial liar" rather than drug-addled although that didn't help the lying problem. Did Hillary smoke dope--she suffers from serial lying too.

#11 Reefer Madness!

Drugs are bad. Prohibition is worse. Champ does both.
