So, if its liberal to get better value for money, and keep more people alive, have less crime and fewer people in prison, then, yup, this is a liberal drug policy.<BR> <BR>Conservatives usually like to do that, too, however...http://pollysigh.listen2yourself.com/2008/03/05/huffer-just-doesnt-have-a-clue.aspx#comment-874981Wed, 05 Mar 2008 22:48:29 GMT
