I would just add that when we dream about the future of this country that is going to be a drug free nation for our children, when we have that dream about the future of America, I do not think we should temper it with not inhaling or some of the other things that we have heard from some of our leadership. This Nation needs leaders that are willing to stand up and say, it is not acceptable, drug use is not acceptable in the United States of America; and we have today declared war on the use of drugs in this country. We need leadership that is willing to stand up and say these things. There are many other values that we could talk about that would be along the same lines as what we just talked about with drugs. People need to stand up and say that a married couple, that either spouse in the marriage should be committed to that marriage and that it is not acceptable to go off with another person of the opposite sex; whether it be the same age or a different age or whatever, those things are not acceptable in the United States of America.
