Happy Birthday Aimee!
I can't exactly see you smoking or buying (ahem) porn for that matter but I hope you have a great day. On this special day, I have to come clean --I invented all that stuff about environmental disaster in Holland, hoping the environmental argument would go far with the former Deaniacs among us. More seriously, since I've never smoked pot I can't speak omnisciently on it but I avoid all drugs (caffeine excluded) largely out of a sense of christian morality that stresses the importance of rationality over lust, emotion, and anything that inhibits one's self-control. Anyone who found that previous sentence lacking should read Augustine's Confessions (Sheed translation), where the idea of a rational, self-denying moral system is laid out in majestic rhetoric. As for the ultimate question, whether or not marijuanabition is in the common good or not is beyond me.
I have started the Bros. Karamazov and hope others have already read it or will, so it can be seminarized.
