I have always had their best interest at hand. Hence my advice to them to remain abstinent until married. I am also serious about the legalization of pot and the lowering of the drinking age. It is ludicrous to think that the same men and women who can die in battle, should not be able to drink. I also think pot is not any worse than alcoholic beverages, so why not be legal. I don't drink or smoke...both are bad for the health. But then again, apparently so is promiscuous sex... I have advised all of my children against any of these vices. When talked to as tho they have a brain in their head and a choice to practice self control or not, it is amazing what a young person can hear!
