and I don't like this. Newsgroup alt.drugs is indeed not the place for
people to express their opinions about legalization of drugs. Move that
shit to misc.legal. But collecting names from people admitting they have
used drugs doesn't do any good. First of all, the network administration
would have to remove youur site from the "alt" list. This means the complete
list, so everything that starts with alt. would be inaccessible for you.
Second, and this really belongs in misc.legal, admitting having used drugs
is not illegal. It'll only screw you over when you run for president or
when you are nominated for the supreme court, and I am sure none of us are
really going to.
Yes Allen, my life is complicated enough, but I can cope. Drugs might
even be able to help me. Yes, give my name to the FBI, have the Feds
search my room, search the whole College, but what would it do? It would
certainly not do you any good!
