That is one of the reasons I wouldn't want to lie to any children of mine.

My sister's approach (her children are still very young, the oldest is ummm 8 I think now) was to say: Drugs are powerful. They are often good and helpful, and we use them carefully when we're sick. But drugs can be dangerous if misused, so you have to know how to use them safely.

None of this all drugs are bad... but we'll ignore the fact that there's caffeine in your chocolate bar and coco cola the school gave you. Or all drugs are bad, but your aunts certainly do enjoy a nice glass of wine now and then. All drugs are bad, but you have to take your antibiotics now.

Honesty - novel concept.

oh and the gilded age article just makes me sad.
