Indubitably. Consider that people a hundred years ago came to recognize the dangers of cocaine. They saw the users of the drug acting really weird and violent, and hence it became outlawed. Eventually, our society came to forget why it was that the drug was made illegal a century ago, and we as a nation had to learn these hard lessons all over again.

Perhaps a hundred years from now the term 'crack baby' might imply the horror of addiction to this drug, but then again maybe not. Perhaps the Libertarian Party will still be around with all 5,000 members sitting around in their cryogenic chambers, declaring that people should have a right to destroy themselves, their children, their communities, their society, and their civilization, and it's all a matter of being able to chime in with their motto: "Who cares? So what? Too bad!"
