He did admit this to me: has has smoked pot in his life when he was younger. Also, his brother was a coke dealer who got his probation violated when he was caught with a joint, another victim of prohibition. I mainly tried to tell him how marijuana prohibition was no more effective or sensible than alcohol prohibition. He disagreed obviously, but it was still fun to tell him that there are people who disagree with his prohibitionist attitude. His attitude is common, blame the drugs for people's personal problem, then try to solve things by attacking the drugs. Fortunately, this will never work because people LIKE drugs (esp. marijuana) and will always continue to use them. Let us all work to create a legal framework so that adults can responsibly use marijuana without fear of the law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18542739.post-1134792788791292712005-12-16T23:13:00.000-05:002005-12-16T23:13:00.000-05:00That's impressive that you were able to have a civ...That's impressive that you were able to have a civil discussion.

And unlike most legalizers, you don't sound gay, either." <BR/><BR/>Or did it somehow relate to the conversation, like, "Well, I'm going to be talking to the president, who like you, doesn't sound gay on the phone."<BR/><BR/>I would have responsed something like, "Well thanks, you silly goose."<BR/><BR/>Or perhaps, "Yeah, whenever I call my friends, they always mention how straight I sound."<BR/><BR/>Guess we can add homophobia to Mr. Steiner's long list of admirable traits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18542739.post-1134750892944770992005-12-16T11:34:00.000-05:002005-12-16T11:34:00.000-05:00I think Tom always sounds gay on the phone.
