@liakantrowitz DARE shirts have often been perverted into ironic props for angsty teenagers trying to prove to their friends that they're edgy. Even I can tell you that the whole program is often the subject of sarcastic jabs by people right before taking drugs. We either really love drugs or DARE just sucked. Perhaps producing cartoons where the drugs were personified as over the top characters wasn't such an effective strategy. The tar filled jar passed around the room didn't strike the right note with students. You could even say that the "Drunk Goggles" were actually pretty fun. The truth is, DARE didn't have a substantial effect on how children viewed drugs. It was ineffective, boring, and honestly a lackluster job. In fact, an early study conducted by the University of Indiana showed that students that went through the DARE program went on to use hallucinogenic drugs more often than students who didn't.

Being radical socialist scum, I was of course in love with Mr.Sanders's campaign in 2016. I donated the little money I had working a pizza job to help support his noble and genuine intentions of working to decrease wealth in equality and stand up for the working class.

Because although Bernie wasn't the candidate we deserved, he was senator that our country needed. Three years have passed and I still firmly believe in progressive values. But my hope and optimism have dwindled to a point of skepticism. I would love to feel the excitement of particip

The elusive Jim Morrison was the embodiment of raw poetry and resistance to control. His work breathed life and consciousness back into the ever brain washed and shallow lives that many of us live. A man that chose intensity over longevity, and a man who could not fooled or tricked out of his beliefs. It is without a doubt that the era that once held mythical figures like Hendrix and Cobain will not be replicated nor grazed by the figurines we so ever praise today.  Jim lived free from restrictions, which led from him using altering substances for cognitive exploration, to using them to escape his everyday reality. It was his yearning and dedication to his work that allowed him to experience everlasting bliss. One which could not be faked or replicated, one that ran through his veins at every meeting with his mesmerized and awed guests.  If you have yet to experience the glimpse into Jim's mind, I highly recommend you set some time aside to listen to the gifts he has sh
