"When we have a president who can go on TV and lie before the whole nation and the nation only laughs about it ("but I didn't inhale."), it is obvious that our problems run very deep, indeed." Kerry

Don't you think this comparison is a bit overdone? Anytime someone does someting criminally wrong in this country lately, the stock comparison is the infamous "but I didn't inhale" quote.

Drug abuse has been around long before the President's dumb reefer statement was made. MJ isn't the cause of killing for drugs in this country.... and everybody knows it. It IS much deeper, as you suggest Kerry; like crack cocaine and heroin and guns.
