It is truly surprising that no illegal drugs were found in the Goose Creek raid, and it's pretty apparent that Tom's comment was a tongue-in-cheek joke meant at exposing the ridiculousness of the "drug-free school" concept.<BR/><BR/>IMO, the best way to clean up the "pollution that the Drug War has done [to] our language" is not to avoid it, but to pick it up and recycle it. We need to use and re-use DrugWar rhetoric in our own contexts until we turn it into something useable. <BR/><BR/>In this case, Tom used humor to show that "drug-free" has become a laughable phrase. Without humor, activists become zealots.Micah Daiglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153647198534157206noreply@blogger.com
