Re: Hitler???

That would be me who made the reference and it was made in response to 
your "perfect world" phrase.  I do not need any description of Hitler.  
As for the NBA being so private, then why is it you would be so pissed 
off at one of your team's players smoking grass?  It's a private 
business.  Nobody forces you to give them money except yourself.  

You seem interested in turning this debate into something else.  You've 
flip-flopped from caring very much about players smoking up to not caring 
if they smoke as long as they keep it quiet.  I still don't know what 
side of the fence you are really on, except that you are anti-drugs as an 
individual.  I admire you for that.  But in a free country, there is no 
place for making demands which may put people's job in jeopardy, without 
just cause.
