Get back on your medication. You're going to blow a gasket before you reach 30.
In case you haven't figured this out yet, you can't dictate morality and you
can't legislate it! It doesn't work. Look at prohibition. How do you think a
famous New England family (starts with a "k") made their money?

Nothin, we know your position on piracy. We also know that your rants aren't
impressing anyone. Give it up!!!
