Sameer asked me to post this -- we were temporarially low on disk space this
afternoon and his attempt to post failed.

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO ME!  I DID NOT POST THIS!

	I have a problem.  I was posting a post, and then relaynews said
there wasn't enough space on the drive to put my post once I (s)ent it with
Pnews.  (The forked process was telling me this--Pnews had already quit into
the shell) I tried again and it failed.  I thought that I should try again
later, maybe there will be more space, but I can't try again later because I
am going away for a few days, and I am hoping for a reply to this quickly
because I need it by Wednesday the 15th.  Thus, could you *please* post this
message for me to talk.politics.drugs and alt.drugs?  Thanks.

Subject: Stuff to do while on stage being inducted into NHS

	Well, first some background so people don't flame me... (as much)

	The National Honor Society at my high school is not your model NHS.
The highlight of the year is the NHS volleyball game.  Nearly 20% of the
junior class is inducted--thus you realize how "selective" it is.  Most of
the members are elitists, and the "tutoring" program shows this by the way
in which some of these people tutor...  Thus, at my school, NHS is a joke.
But at other schools it may not be like this.  Thus I do not wish to offend
any by saying my NHS sucks.

	Anyway, I'm going to be inducted next Wednesday, and I want to do
something interesting to advance my agenda and display the lack of reality
which NHS is.  Usually inductees are ot wear a flower the day of the
induction.  I thought I would wear a hemp flower, but I fear that it would
be too illegal and maybe expensive.  (I have no idea how expensive it is..)
	So then I thought I would capitalize on one of the statements the
NHS "President" said.  In Calculus class I was expressing my beleifs and he
was busy making fun of my accent and ignoring my points, and as I stated
that alcohol kills 100,000 people a year, he also said something to the
effect of "Alcohol is good for you."  I think I *do* remember reading a
study where it said something like people who drink 1 drink a day have a
certain lesser disease rate of a certain type?  (It's probably due to these
people's entire lifestyle.)  But that point aside, I think I might express
that the president of the NHS thinks alcohol is "good for you" and marijuana
is bad, even though alcohol kills 100,000 per year and marijuana 0.
]	I don't know how I'd express this.  My parents are bugging me to buy
a suit + tie for the thing, but I was thinking I should wear a
pro-hemp/marijuana anti-WoD t-shirt.  Anyone know of any good things I
should write on the T-shirt?  (It must be seen.)  (I don't have time, so
I'll probably go to the local t-shirt store and have the letters ironed on.)
	Thanks.  Any other ideas completely different from this are welcome.

	(The format will probably be a few beginning speeches, then they'll
read everyone's [about 93 people] names and they will go up to get inducted,
and shake the President's hand.  I will have a friend running lights...  Due
to fears of violence, I will ask that friend running lights to shut off ALL
the lights if anyone tries to beat me up or something...  I know the
auditorium like the back of my hand, so I should be able to leave quickly
w/o getting maimed.)
