Role Models
My colleague John Berry made this 30-second video about Michael Phelps and the hypocrisy surrounding the reaction to the photo of him smoking something out of a bong. I think he pretty much nails it.

Great Video!
Funny how we don’t treat our leaders the same way we would treat an Olympian, huh? I recently signed a petition to have all politicians drug tested, after all they supposedly do work for us, the people of this nation.
Our role models are not Ken dolls, they are human.
Why did no one throw a fit about one of the actors from the most popular tween movies ever getting caught smoking? You can check it out here http://photos.tmz.com/galleries/kristen_stewart
Because it is not a big deal. That is why. Re-Legalize!
Good Video
Please allow me to comment for good sanity and reasoning of values. In brief, children’s role models with exposure to adult anything especially the hottest topic in Washington, marijuana. We all agree, marijuana is an adult subject and not for children. What do you think kids all over the world are thinking now about marijuana? Can you measure that kind of damage to children? Let’s send the appropriate message, “Apology accepted, but please don’t expose children to unauthorized marijuana use.”

Aside from the fear of them putting us in jail, why do we continue to care what politicians think of marijuana users? These are the same people who would be in jail for tax evasion if they were held to the same standards we, the general public, would be subjected to.
