   America was founded on tobacco and alcohol, or at least that's what   
   financed the early going, and the first rebellion was about the Feds   
   taxing whiskey.

   I hear that the average American watches 35 hours a week of TV. As far   
   as affecting the people around them and for the impact on society I   
   think this is far more serious than drug use, if done in moderation.   
   There are *all* kinds of time wasters and inutile diversions beyond drugs

   is good, or is it the reverse?
