it's not life that matters but the journey...

Phelps is a stupid kid, and now he's both famous and rich, so he thinks he can get away with anything. He needs better guidance or at least to learn from this mistake. I heard he is losing Kellogg as a sponsor but not any others at this point, but I hope that's enough of a lesson for him.

That's more surprising about the sumo wrestlers, because I would think they would have better guidance. From what I've heard, sumo training is a pretty strict lifestyle. I could see how it would be a very tough life to live if you're looking at what modern Japan has to offer.

Personally, I don't think pot is any worse than alcohol. I've seen people screw up their lives and their health by abusing both, but I don't think occasional use of either by adults does much harm. If your livelihood depends on you staying clean, though, you'd do a lot better to avoid both.
