So anyway, here's a reminder to folks that us bad guys -- conservatives, Republicans, and the Wall Street Journal -- can actually be on the right side of things now and then, with this hair-raising lead:

Good article.
Flavor-Aid.
*sigh*
You're singing the song I've been singing for years.
You and me and George Schultz. What's interesting is the comments to the WSJ articles, presumably made by WSJ readers and thus relatively conservative people, is over 90% in favor of repeal. Yet few politicians can stand out on this issue. I guess they fear the power of mass ridicule driven by misinformation.
I know to say Kool-Aid is to misquote someone somewhere but it's what everyone says.
Screw sides. The prohibition doesn't work. It's that simple. Remove the profit motive and POOF... the "drug world" collapses like the house of cards it is.
Anyway, good article. Thanks for the link.
