I have never used this emoticon in my life.

But I have no choice now.

It takes real balls to point out when it succeeds.

I don't think any of us will still be alive when a government success finally (if ever) occurs.  :laugh:

I like your crust, sir or madam.

Seriously, that makes no sense. It doesn't take balls to point out when you think government has done well. People do that all the time, especially people in government.

How about pointing out horrible drug war crimes that get people killed but cops and DEA agents and Govt officals get away with it, yet nobody outside of wacky Reason magazine care? Or is that just too easy, in spite of the fact that it happens all the time? How about the assholes who think it's fine because they don't smoke, or they can get their pot, or the assholes who just call people that bring it up stoners? And all sorts of other shit that happens.

If this was shooting fish in a barrel, maybe people would stop fucking voting for the same big government assholes.

Alex C:
People do bring this stuff up all the time. Americans are considerably more amenable to the decriminalization of marijuana now than at any point since legislation was first introduced. We're not completely there yet, but to act as if only Libertarians care about such things is patently false.

benji:
Honestly, if you think Reason is the only place people are talking about the drug war, you really need to get out more.

Also, why are we talking about John Stossel? I don't care what his political philosophy is. He's a poor excuse for a journalist. I like how the bio implies that he stopped doing scare stories once he found the True Faith. Most of what I've seen him do over the years since 1980 would still qualify as scare stories, and usually pretty ill informed ones at that.
