Not defensiveness, wanted to know why you have a low opinion of those who chose to advance society in their own way. And also you presented a opportunity to learn and profit.

Well Joe I do have to correct you here it is not anti drug it is a lecture on the psychological manipulation used by advertisers. It was Coke doing the sponsoring and they will no longer. After the initial questions about the program and the sponsor I also considered it not proper. So the state is considering sponsorship. As for the profit I make let me assure you that because this is a project I personally believe will have a positive effect my fee is approximately one fifth of what it should be. I make my money at other venues.
