In 1978 I walked along with a pipe hanging from my belt loop. I wore it there EVERYWHERE! My high school had a smoking area. I did not smoke cigs then. The drinking age in Iowa was 18. When we were to drunk to drive the police would make sure we got home safe. If caught with illegal substances they were promptly confiscated and dumped out on the ground. If we had alcohol it was dumped out and we had to pick up the bottles. We were then escorted home and had to face our parents. GEE I wonder why the jails are so over crowded now days? Why more kids are turned into life long criminals? Could you imagine coming to school with a 12 gauge shotgun and a 22 rifle openly displayed on a gun rack? Every day for me. If the police busted one of our keggers (1 in a hundred) they would hall us all off to the juvi detention center. Our parents were called. They would come get us. No charges were filed. Hey, let's keep on wrecking our children's future by treating them as criminals for being teenagers. Maybe we can dedicate a whole state like North Dakota as the "PRISON STATE". After all their is nothing cheaper than prison labor(oh wait slavery is cheaper) Back in the day you were given an option if in real trouble. Go to jail or go fight for your country. Ask any WW2, Korea, or Vietnam vet. The USA could compete with Mexican, India, and China if all of us were in jail, now couldn't they? Of course the rich people don't have to worry. They have enough money to pay the right people off. They can commit murder with zero consequences. The politicians (current administration included along with all of them for the past 100 years) are all addicted to MONEY! All future wars should be started with the fact that every poltician's child over the age of 18 is in the initial wave of US troops commited to the land invasion. No matter what. After these rich spoiled brats are wiped out we can empty out the prisons and show the .......s how real Americans fight! What does this have to do about vaping? Well let's see. MONEY! Do you think for one minute the two biggest lobbiests in our country (tobacco, Pharmacutecals) are going to sit buy and watch us not use their products? Dang it they might have to go get real jobs! When the time comes I'am ready. You best have a cig in your mouth when walking through Austin. My 7mm is not prejudice.
