AMEN - AMEN - AMEN Another - obscure - example of the times: All through my sons' high school years, the administration was more concerned about the "saggy pants" vs "pot" smoking in the school. There were times I would swear - he - was also a pot smoker. He insisted on NO - and - that - the bathrooms were so crowded with pot smoking kids - he - had to vacate and find another bathroom that was free of these kids. Now for the LOL part: (which really happened regularly) Picture, if you can, two or more kids facing each other. One hand holding up their pants and the other hand - throwing punches.
