re resp:217: Why do you say that Europeans favor older women, Richard?  
That must be really nice for some, if it is true; aging sex symbols who 
are too old for Americans can extend their careers and their stardom by 
going to Europe.

But I am sorry to say, your credibility is such that I would need some 
kind of evidence for anything you say right now.  You sometimes make up 
things for convenience in arguments.  If I don't already know something 
for myself, your saying it does not lead me to believe it.  Integrity 
is a terrible thing to give away.  Yours went pretty cheaply.

re resp:218: Tobacco and alcohol are legal; marijuana and meth are 
not.  All of those substances are illegal for students to have in 
school.  I wonder which of them are the most common?

From the way my teenage stepdaughter talks (she's a freshman), they'd 
do better to make all drugs mandatory and supervise the kids to make 
sure they're taking them regularly.  Presumably, some kids would then 
evade them, and drug usage would drop.  I suspect she may exaggerate 
some of her observations, though.
