Interesting responses in this thread. I've been away for a few days
and can't read all of them. I think pot should be legal but since
it's not, what he did was as stupid as when Jenna Bush got busted for
using a fake ID to get a drink when she was underage. How either of
them though they could get away with it is amazing. I could care less
about Kelloggs products or what they do with the people they sponsor.
But it's their choice to do whatever they want. He's a competitor and
I'm sure he'll do just fine. Maybe he can take over for Ben Stein as
spokesman for Clear Eyes. I saw on the tube last night that the Miss
America that tested positive for coke is now doing a reality show at a
detox in the UK as a counselor. So you never know what lies in the
future for Phelps. I really doubt boycotting Kelloggs will have much
effect on them.

You're right, it won't, but it was fun to write a snotty letter to them
over the issue.

I agree, but wasn't this fun? I love debates!
