Its similar to avoiding an automobile accident by not driving on our roads. People are going to do it, but educating them to the risk of that behavior is not censorship, they aren't banning it or making it illegal. On my list of priorities, this is about 50 MILLIONTH.

In all of these instances the easily remembered acronym or saying masks the real issue as this writer indicates so well. Yes, CHANGE IS NEEDED. Enough of this backward fascist fundamentalism. “Just Say No” is just another government propaganda job — just like “No Child Left Behind”, “100% Graduation Rate” and “Perfect Attendance.” In all of these instances the easily remembered acronym or saying masks the real issue as this writer indicates so well.
