Drugs, nothin'! There's been war on that since before McCarthy.
I'll tell you what the 90's McCarthyism is: blaming televison for
all our problems. (Before anybody tries to disagree with me, go over and
look at your TV. Every single one of 'em has a switch to TURN IT OFF.
And if you can't find that switch, every single one of 'em also has a plug
which can be pulled out of the wall.)
