Leave Michael Phelps alone!

Seriously, he smoked pot, who cares?

I've spent my adult life in the military and other positions that ensure that I don't smoke pot. And that's fine, if the job requirements are no weed, that's the requirements, I have no regrets.

Maybe it is a moral failing on Micheal Phelps' part to use. But it's such a minor freaking thing. It's not like he put anyone in danger. And I have a tough time believing that his use will influence teenagers to smoke who would not have smoked otherwise.

I guess I'm just bothered by all the "family values" hysterics that surround this kind of nonsense. Yes, he broke the law, but that doesn't make him a terrible person.
