Exactly
[QUOTE=TonyC;92767]If my kids get caught with drugs, they'll be begging to be locked up so I won't be able to get to 'em.
My sentiments EXACTLY! I've been preaching to my 3 kids about this since they were old enough to understand the words coming out of my mouth. So far, so good. They are now teenagers and it's been clear sailin'. However, I will still be holding my breath until they're 21!
Pilot 7576 -- good point as well!
Koz -- How old are you? If you are indeed a pilot, I don't want to be a passenger while you're up front anytime soon with your cavalier attitude.

In Koz2000's defense, I'm not sure his attitude is cavalier. I think the point he was making is that it happens a lot more than we read about, and the kid's name is probably responsible for it getting more press than if he were Cannon Smith... umm, ok, bad example, that is his name... ok, Cannon Jones.

Ok, TC -- thanks for the clarification.. BUT, still didn't READ like he thought it was that big a deal. Hope I'm wrong on that.

As well, from what I read, it was not the Smith kid that had the dope (although they both were dopes), but the other guy. It's gotta be tough, growing up in Memphis, having Fred for a father, knowing that everything you do and say will be used by some asswipe reporter. Anyone whose been involved with FedEx for some time knows that there have always been issues with Fred and his children. It's not really news, and this is just more of the same. As someone already posted, if it had been any other kid, we would have not been reading about it. Being in the public eye has gotta suck, big time. Unless of course you happen to be Angelina Jolie, and then it's ok with me.

His buddy was arrested for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia.

The majority of cops are part timers who get off by flashing their big guns at folks that didn't do anything but maybe go 41 in a 35. Let the bastards go and arrest some real criminal. Nooooo. That would be too dangerous, so they sit and hide along Poplar, just waiting to pounce. The lowest of the low.

Tony hit the nail on the head. If his name was Jones, no one would know about it. This is why there's a thread called Ask Tony...

I'd bet you won't stop worrying about them when they turn 21. You worry about them until you're gone. Hopefully before they do. It's the way it's supposed to be.
