In reply to: Authorities raid marijuana grow house in Athens »

November 21, 2012

Coming from a family of alcoholics, here is my statement!! I'd would had much rather had my Dad smoked pot than drink!! The abuse the alcohol caused in my childhood scared me for life. I believe alcohol is evil!! I don't think my Dad would had beat my mother, my sister, or me if he had been smoking pot. He might had laughed with us and played with us, instead of cussing, hitting, and demeaning everyone he knew. He may had eaten the food instead of throwing it on my mother.
I don't believe there's as much violent when pot is involved. People usually don't get mean on pot. They are less likely to hurt people with their words.
Each addiction has an affect, but each addiction is a choice. I believe pot is the lesser of two evils.
I do not smoke pot, but as a teen I did try it, so don't think I'm a pot head. I just know what alcohol does to a family!! Just because alcohol is legal doesn't make it right!!

    Pop Addict Book Review: "Facing the Music and Living to Talk About It" by Nick Carter

    As a huge Backstreet Boys fan, I was little perplexed on reading Nick Carter?s book.  It?s not like reading a book about Elvis Presley or The Beatles. I didn?t live through those moments. I didn?t see them in person. But as someone who has followed Nick?s career since I became a fan in 1998, not just in the Backstreet Boys, but as a solo artist, I?ve always thought we had a lot in common besides being the same age. read more

    Links to Banner-Herald's award-winning sports stories

    The Athens Banner-Herald sports staff combined to win 11 individual awards on Sunday at the Georgia Sports Writers Association's annual meeting in Marietta. You can get a few more details on that in this story ? "Banner-Herald sports staff wins 11 awards" ? and I thought I'd provide some links to the winning stories for the curious. The awards were for the sports staff's work in 2012. read more
