Stoopid Phelps

I stand by my comments.

Stoopid Phelps.

Of course he's stoopid. He's 23, and has more money and attention than most 23 year old boys get, and he's going to make poor choices. I think he'll learn. I could be wrong. I'm not disturbed by it - it opened some interesting discussions with my kids - always valuable.

What Phelps should have said:

I especially agree with this paragraph:

Here’s a crazy thought: If I can smoke a little dope and go on to win 14 Olympic gold medals, maybe pot smokers aren’t doomed to lives of couch surfing and video games, as our moronic government would have us believe. In fact, the list of successful pot smokers includes not just world class athletes like me, Howard, Williams, and others, it includes Nobel Prize winners, Pulitzer Prize winners, the last three U.S. presidents, several Supreme Court justices, and luminaries and success stories from all sectors of business and the arts, sciences, and humanities.

Super Bowl XLIII MVP, too

Thirty-two years after my last time, & I still think it's way past time to legalize it.

It would have been interesting if the Phelps pic had been taken somewhere where marijuana is legal (Netherlands? India? .....don't have time to research any other countries right now.) If he'd been filmed drinking a beer or a glass of wine -- he is over 21 now -- would anybody care?

I would have also called him stoopid if he was on film smoking a cigarette.

I would not call him stoopid if he was on film drinking beer or wine. I did call him stoopid when he was arrested for DUI.

Funny how people's perceptions vary depending on where their biases lie. I wouldn't think twice about seeing somebody smoking a cigarette, but I'd think they were ass ignorant to be drinking.

But I smoke and my last drink was almost five years ago.

I also don't think there's anything wrong with a little weed used in a responsible fashion now and then. Unless you are in a profession where you have signed something acknowledging that it is not allowed and the consequences are established.
