YOU WOULD DO WELL TO LISTEN TO THIS VOICE OF REASON

Nobel laureate Professor Milton Friedman said in 1991, "Under 
prohibition of alcohol, deaths from alcohol poisoning, from poisoning 
by things that were mixed in with the bootleg alcohol, went up 
sharply. Similarly, under drug prohibition, deaths from overdose, 
from adulterations, from adulterated substances have gone up." He 
remains resolutely against prohibition and not on libertarian but 
economic and moral grounds. You would do well to listen to this voice 
of reason.
