- There has been much on this newslist which i for one have
- found to be somewhat objectionable. Personally, i think
- it was a mistake to let this sort of unrestrained nihilistic
- chaotic rambling to go unmoderated for so long! It starts
- perhaps, with Martin Luther or Copernicus, but it ends up
- with Robert Mapplethorpe!
-
- The last straw, for me, was the irresponsible and scurrilious
- casual reference to the anesthetic gas, nitrous oxide, commonly
- referred to in the popular parlance as "laughing gas".
-
- This sort of casual drug reference is just the sort of thing
- which encourages our young people, many of whom are currently
- reading these messages through the terminals they are provided
- with at their local university or community college, and this
- is happening at a time in there lives when some of them are
- very impressionable about such things as casual sex and illicit
- drug use. I find this very frustrating, given my background in
- research into the psychology of human drug addictions. My
- research indicates that much of our drug problems are due to
- incorrect socialization practices, such as what I am seeing on
- this newslist.
-
- I call for the moderator to step in at this point and help
- alleviate some of this serious, serious problem.
