    Daniel, might I suggest another issue for you and your peers to attack--smoking! There are 4.5 million people (ages 12-17) who smoke. Smoking continued into adulthood results in an almost certain, early death. In addition, smoking harms innocent bystanders (second-hand smoke). And by the way, being among the ranks of smokers instills no pride, holds no honor and has no potential to help others. All the best to you in the future.
