Points well taken. Then again, DARE is a government run program, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised. I think that on moral issues like this, it is the Christians in the community as a Church that should deal with these issues. The Church is supposed to be the moral conscience of the community. The government, OTOH, exists only to secure the rights of individuals against infringement. This system has worked since the founding of our republic, and I see no reason why it should've been abandoned.
I take it then you're not a paleo-conservative. ;-) You'd better put on your flame-proof underwear.
