But, Dude, I Was, Like, Totally Saving the Environment

Reuters has up an article about Al Gore's Son, Al Gore III, being arrested for possession of marijuana and prescription drugs. Normally, I wouldn't post something about this since it's only "newsworthy" because it's the son of someone famous. The reason I'm posting it is because the article almost makes it sound like it's not that bad, since he was driving a hybrid car and his dad cares about the environment. Quite possibly one of the most "bring in my personal soapbox even though it's irrelevant to the article" pieces that I've read in some time.
