Gail Mom to lots of chickies Registered: 12/09/02 Posts: 18589 Loc: Buon giorno, Principessa	So this means that the once illicit drugs are now treated the same as alcohol, eh? This classifies the problem as a medical one instead of a criminal one.

Psalm 73:26. The unstudied, unconscious influence of a holy life is the most convincing sermon that can be given in favor of Christianity. Argument, even when unanswerable, may provoke only opposition; but a godly example has a power that it is impossible wholly to resist. The Faith I Live By, p. 153.
