Jeez, now who would ever think that a guy who advocates arming the
entire citezenry is a conservative!  Who woulda ever figured Charlton
Heston to be a HW fan?  C'mon, Chuck, you can drop the pseudonym,
we're all friends here...

I think it's part that but also they can't bear the thought that
maybe they aren't doing a great job raising kids, so why not let some
quack prescribe drugs to help?  Parents can't raise kids nowadays
because they're too busy working overtime or a second job to spend
time with their kids--but that won't stop them from having more
children...

Yeah, well there's always Holland.  I cataloged a book a couple
months ago, written by a conservative Republican who advocated the
legalization of all drugs.  This guy worked in Bush's cabinet, and he
could see the inequity and destructiveness of the so-called 'war on
drugs.'  When will the rest catch on?
