And it wouldn’t have happened if pot were legal or if the person who took the picture didn’t try to make money off another person’s celebrity or if there wasn’t a market for rejoicing in other people’s mistakes/lives.
He’s an olympic athlete and I admire his athleticism and as long as he’s not taking performance enhancing drugs I’ll continue to admire his swimming. He’s not an elected or appointed official in my government or church. What he does in his personal life is none of my business.

Smoking pot is a mistake now? Interesting choice of words. How can he have made a mistake if it’s okay to smoke pot?

Why is it okay for him to get wasted but not your congressmen or pastor? Seriously, why should it matter to you if they are sober but he isn’t?
