Summary: 

Bob,

	From your postings regarding punks, I get the idea that you do
not know any "real" punks".  If you did, you would not be so quick to
insult them.  Sure, punks may dress different than you, listen to music
you don't like etc, BUT, that does not mean they all do drugs.  I know
many (most) punks that do not do drugs.  Maybe you would like it if we
all started dressing like you.  Or better yet, why don't we all wear black
pyjamas (sp?) like Ho Chi Minh's army-  I know a word for what happens
when all of society is forced to follow the ``norms''- Facism.  Punks
are the Shyloks of the Eighties (Merchant of Venice - Shakespeare).

	etc, etc, etc.

It takes all kinds of people to run the world.  I respect your opinion,
because you have the right to it.  If a person wants to shave their
head, that is there choice.  You may not agree with them, but you MUST
respect it as their choice.  You cannot force your opinion on others.  I
suggest you talk to some real punks before you go calling names etc.
Fill yourself in on the facts.  Just because punks look different does
no mean that they do not have all the rights and privalages as everyone
else.  Your biggest misconception is that all punks do drugs.  I once
knew a guy named Bob, and he did drugs, and eventually O.D.'d.  Your
name is Bob, does that mean you do drugs too?
