Free speech, exercised both individually and through a free press, is a necessity in any country where people are themselves free.

-Theodore Roosevelt

Drugs versus Medicines

- Radley Balko on the FDA’s “War on Drugs” mentality:

If the government can stop you from putting drugs in your body that make you high, it's a short leap to say that the government can let you die while waiting for drugs that could save your life, albeit still in the name of "protecting" you.

Sums it up nicely - it's a point that needs more air time. I wonder how many people who support the War on Drugs are able to make that connection.
