It's much more honest, and effective, to say, if you smoke a joint, your life will probably not be any different. If you smoke every day, you run the risk of messing up your life. If you smoke crack every day, you run the risk of dying or, in the very least, really screwing up your life. Enough about drugs, on to another issue - sex. I have to say about it.

They always have and probably always will. We can only hope they are safe and responsible. I will, however, tell you about a conversation I had with a family member of mine, because it has to do with what I have to say about reading in general.

We were talking about Crosses , and he was very complimentary.
