We could probably bust almost every high school kid in home school, public school or private school for some kind of infraction against society, be it smoking pot, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, performing oral sex, masturbation, shoplifting, jaywalking, cursing on Sundays, spitting, speeding or cheating on tests. That much being written, I am certainly not condoning illegal activity or behavior but am fully cognizant that such behavior exists and I abhor attempting to legislate morality.
