Hmmm So, this would also mean that if I rent a movie from a store that has Cheech and Chong movies, I'm suspect as well. Or if I shop in a store that has movies that have marijuana use in them I'm part of an evil empire... I remember seeing 'Half Baked' in Wal Mart the other day, wonder if this fellow shops there? If so, he's got questionable morals as well. Gas stations usually sell rolling papers, so that would be considered paraphernalia, I wonder if he buys gas? 

This is more than likely just a rabble rouser, since he includes his name, but hardly a professional e-mail address to indicate his 'position' as an educator. He likely thinks D&D leads to devil worship as well.

I already forwarded this to Kristin.  I dunno if there's any legal 
action that can be taken based on libel or slander laws.
