Personally, to be honest, I don't really give a rats ass WHAT the politicians have done in the past. what I care about is what they will do in the future. Now I know that what people do in the past can influence their choices later on, but c-mon, do you REALLY think that if Bill Clinton KNEW he was gonna be president, that he would have taken the chance of smoking pot? When we are younger we do stupid things. There have been studies, and I know I can't cite specific passages because it has been too long since I read them, but the fact is that people in their younger years(under 21) do not have the same chemical ballance in their brains for intelligent decision making as those who are much older. I will look and see if I can find any supporting articles for this. Anyway, as we are younger we experiment, that is a part of life, trying something and seeing if it works for us. Granted some things tried happen to be illegal substances...lol. But this goes to maturing and learning from mistakes. I would rather vote for someone who made a few mistakes in life, and was confronted with them, than a person who has grown up "perfect" and never made a mistake in their entire life, for I would call BS on that person and say that they just never got caught...lol
