But either way, my son drinks ZERO soda, none, not one. And even though I consume it in amounts fit to kill an elephant, all my teeth seem to be in decent shape. A couple of small cavities a few years ago, but it's amazing what a toothbrush and abstinence from methamphetamine will do for a mouth.The numbers you are so fond of point to a growing dependence in this country on drugs, both legal and illegal. I don't know your true stance, since you only want to argue (apparently) that I am wrong, but I've said my piece and am moving on.I am sad to think that real people in this world think legalizing drugs will make the problem go away. Of course, if we decriminalized murder and rape, then we'd sure have less people with those convictions in prison. But do you think the rates would stay the same? If it were 100% legal to go out and shank your wife's boyfriend, or to pop your boss because he was a dumbass? Maybe I'm crazy, but I really truly believe the only thing that keeps a lot of people in check is the fear of punishment or retribution. It's true I've seen a lot of the underbelly of society, and I am by no means saying the majority of people would succumb to such desires, but I do think it is a large enough portion of the population that it would or could to bring us into an almost total collapse.Oh well... we're headed that way anyways, so debating it is merely academic to me at this point.Of course, these are my opinions... I am free to agree and disagree with others at will and they with me. Doesn't change my life at all, except to shake my head more and go about my business.</blockquote>
