| Who among us haven't imbibed or partaken in something illegal/immoral in some sort of manner? While I admit it was foolish on his part, I was young and stupid at one time too. The only thing that saved me was no cell phones with cameras or the tiny digital cameras or FaceBook or YouTube, etc back then (heck, there weren' even PCs!). Technology has made it soooo easy to have any transgression(s) to be publicly available almost instantly! Again, he was foolish for doing what he did but, IMO, it was done privately, and I'm assuming with friends. Who would expect that to get out in the open? And what kind of friend would do that to him??Terry-- Procrastinate now! |

My point exactly. It's not like he beat his wife (or dog) or was involved in lewd behaviour. He was a little foolish, but, as I stated, who among us hasn't done something along those lines in our lifetime?? I know I'm guilty. Terry-- Procrastinate now! |

| yeah - a total non-issue. Unfortunately for him he now has to play out the "game" between his sponsors, the media, and the "collective public".Be One with the OptimizerTG |

| >>Never share your pot with someone that has the lung capacity of a dolphin!I had a friend that had one of those 6 foot plexi-glass bongs that even someone with arms like Michael Phelps couldn't light by themshelves. I suppose if you were more than six feet tall you could use your foot to light it but that was never an option for me. But anyway - he had outfitted it with a regular party bowl which could hold about 10 times more than a bong bowl. He could take several deep breaths, exhale everthing then take a very slow (about 5 minutes long) bong hit and finish the entire thing in one breath - which was truly impressive to a bunch of 20 year old pot-heads. His eyes would turn a shade of red I've never seen before.Be One with the OptimizerTG |

Hmmm...seems SOMEONE has experience in the dark world of illicit-drugs (although, it's always a "friend", isn't it)!!  - My bong was only three feet and plexi (red if I remember correctly). Confiscated by two cops in the local park, along with my dope. They never did take me in but I'm sure they put my stash to good use, either sold it or smoked it themseleves, the bastards!Terry-- Procrastinate now! |

| I don't particularly care that he smokes the herb, but that he is stupid enough to risk millions of endorsements by doing it in front of a party full of people with camera phones. |
