Fear keeps the people in line

From the inbox, a reminder of how guilt and fear plagues good and decent people:

My half brother died of AIDS, and I helped his grieving mom take him weed so he could eat a few meals and not puke...I remember taking my pot out to Jamie's car, and telling his Mom it was okay, (she was scared shitless), just give it to him, his buddy would help him smoke it, and then he could eat...this law-abiding woman was torn up about getting INTO TROUBLE(!!!) because she wanted her kid to be able to get some nourishment while he was dying!!!
