If we scare and threaten kids enough, maybe they will stop drinking...

There are actually people in this country who think they can stop underage drinking, drug use, prostitution, crime through laws and religion – things that have always been with us. Has there ever been a more quixotic endeavor in the history of the human race? Has there ever been something that has been as foolish and destructive?

Of course we need to fight crime, but when faced with a rational and more importantly realistic way of dealing with it, we should embrace it.

The way I see it, this could be anywhere from truly enlightening to completely pointless and stupid.

If it was going to "undo our race" don't you think it would have happened by now? How long does it take for the race to be undone? Alcohol, and alcohol abuse has been around a long time.
