Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

Recently went through the same with my now 7 yo daughter. I will never forget the look on her face when I told her we were going to the ‘drug store’ (Walgreens) for something . “What? A store that sells drugs??” Lots of un-learning to be done in the not-so-distant future I fear.

So can we take this to mean that NO one in the education cabal EVER uses alcohol, caffeine or tobacco?

Rob, this reminded me of those idiotic “whudafxup” anti-smoking commercials that take a 30+ year old looking guy and try to make him cool to the under 20s by giving him dreadlocks.
These are nothing but anti-corporation, anarchist, leftist propaganda that really doesn’t address smoking at all. No wonder the CDC says smoking hasn’t dropped (stuck at 21%).
He attacks a legal business in an attempt to make it sound like everything they did over the past 60 years was evil because they sold and marketed a legal product to the best of their ability, as required by law. They even manage to get their digs in at how dangerous guns are in one of their recent spots.
The message - corporations are evil liars and they will do anything including kill you if it makes them money.
Every time I see one of these I get so mad I just want to slap the dreads off of that guys head.

Whistler - LOL, I love that movie.

LifeTrek has a point. If you want to change the culture all you have to do is put a corporate label on behavior you wish to abolish.
I wonder if you associate a liberal agenda like environmentalism with good behavior it will become a fad?

SO, are these school districts going to stop accepting moneys collect from tobacco and alcohol taxes? Hello? Anyone listening in the “government”? HELLO?? Calling moral relativism, will someone please pick up.

Rob, you should really take up smoking. Y’know… for the children.

And my wife wonders why I want to put our kids in private school. It may be expensive, but it will be more expensive to allow the liberal zombie factories turn my four kids into straight ticket democrats by removing any semblance of critical thinking skills.

This is one of many reasons my wife and I educate our children at home! If my daughters were in class with Rob’s kids, they’d have a SWAT team coming into my home to deal with my caffeine habit--er, addiction. :^)

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking coffee.
