“I think as we, again, debate this, we have an opportunity. We have to be role models from the top down. People who are in public life, athletes, everybody else, has a responsibility in our culture to try and help define the values that our young people adopt. They are very impressionable at that age. As I speak with young people in my State of South Dakota, that is something that is very important to me to be able to convey, a message that it is important that we establish a tone, set a tenor, where we discuss values, and where things like drug use are discouraged at a very early age, and we stop it at the point of decision. I think that is something that we have a very intense commitment to.”
