Have you noticed that the major voices advocating decrimminalization come from the GOP (and conservatives in general), and not the Rats.

George Schutlz, William F. Buckley, Ron Paul (R-TX), GOP Governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson, Bill O'Reilly, Thomas Sowell, Milton Friedman, Walter Williams .....and the list goes on.

Ah yes the typical textbook Libertarian response.

George Schutlz, (a respected GOP warhorse who, IMO is wrong on this issue)

William F. Buckley(someone who writes a couple of articles on drug legalisation, when was the last one in 97 or so>)

Ron Paul (R-TX)(Libertarian Presidential cnadidate in 88, nuff said)

GOP Governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson(who handed New Mexico over to Monica hiring Bill Richardson in 2003)

Bill O'Reilly(the guy who thinks global warming is real)

Thomas Sowell(never saw an article where Prof. Sowell towed the pro-pot line)

Milton Friedman(He's an economist. Economist's are usually idealists looking for a perfect world, although I agree with Prof. Freidman on 90% of the issues, total drug legalization is not one of them)

Walter Williams(Another economist, again I usually agree with Prof. Williams 90% of the time and it was interesting that Prof. Williamas toned down some of his rhetoric during his recent stint for taking over for Rush)

.....and the list goes on

Go on with your fax from the LP. I am here to refute them.

To be clear, although O'Reilly may very well advocate the de-crimminalization of pot, he's still a drug warrior of the first order.
