Personally sir, I think you are ridiculous. First of all, buying a bong may run you anywhere from $60 to $200. Do you really think a person smoking crack would want to dish out that kind of money when they could use it to feed their drug habit? Did you ever consider that perhaps selling even one piece could feed Molly's family for a week? Or that, in a time of such a failing economy, the purchase of such a thing as a bong is still just a purchase, beneficial to the economy? Unfortunately, you don't think. You simplistically think a bong is the devil's work and therefore must be banned. It's 2009, right? I thought we were past this. You want to fight the real enemy? How about taming the handfuls of violent, scary drunks that fill the streets and bars every night. Then tell me the potheads are the problem Lisa Slater (It's a foolish crusade.) - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
