It is their true function to suck life from otherwise energizing discourse and keep it circling downward. This keeps everyone else from really getting to the point of being able to build on a conversation and bring ideas into light. It's possible they are even being paid to do this. Cut them loose!

Whether it is through forging a prescription, or having someone purchasing it, and then "giving it away". It is illegal. Nuff said. But thank you for derailing this particular thread, USA Patriot (or Mr. P, or whatever you're posting as today). Back on topic. Senator Craig is not gay? Yet three men can testify that they were either engaged in sexual activity, or were proposed to be engaged. Damn liberal media with their facts, anyways!
