If anyone could make me a real signature that would be awesome I am not great with photoshop.
So Sheen doesn't get any additional crack money and Two and a Half Men gets canceled.
Win/win right?

Good lord, what drivel.
The rise of crack use by blacks in the 80s correlated with the rise in violent crime in the inner cities. People blamed the drug. Thus you got tougher sentencing. It's really that simple. If anything, the drug was used as a way to shield black people from racism (eg, "it's not black people's fault that crime is on the rise, it's the drug's fault".)
You can read about it here. Then you won't have to rely on your "opinion".

Really belongs in the peanut gallery, but using a report by University of Chicago to back up a social- economic argument is like using Prince Fielder to back up an argument about doughnuts. Basically, I could tell you what their conclusion would be without reading a single sentence.

Watching Charlie Sheen act might drive me to crack
It really amazes me how such a well educated, intelligent, thoughtful, ethical father such as Martin Sheen could produce such a disgrace as Charlie Sheen. It can't be his fathering skills, as his other son, Emilio Estevez has turned out fine.
No judgement against Martin, I just don't see how that happens.

I can think of so many people that I personally know that are fine upstanding people that have 1 or more kids that "turn out fine" and then another one that is just out there "Charlie Sheen'n it up".
I know people who have parents that really did a number on them, but some how they managed to turn out great.
Parents are extremely important but they're not everything.

Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
