Hey GC Duke dad. This quote is on the wall at Duke. You left out the first line by the way. But I find it funny how you are quoting this and using a comparison because people are talking about a team of kids who smoke pot? That essay was intended about REAL men in a REAL struggle. Not a bunch of over privileged PH's. Makes you look foolish comparing them.
