Did you say LEGALIZE DRUGS???

Who would have thunk? A professor and classroom full of students at one of the most conservative universities in the United States, and maybe the whole world, a school rated dead last in the annual list of party schools, advocating a major change in drug policy in America. The change - to decriminalize and legalize illicit drugs in this country! The one hour news story was compelling, the argument so logical. The discussion was baffling, the students so convincing. The feeling oh so wrong!

Well, when you consider that Libertarianism is a brand of conservatism, it makes sense

I know the feeling of hearing an argument that sounds logical and reasonable and feeling completely uneasy. How grateful I am for that feeling! I find it a little strange that that discussion should go on where you are, but I'm glad you can figure out how you feel about things even if it is sometimes difficult to articulate those feelings.
