Very negative response to sullum's writing.
The message I got was that the supreme court precedents were there to be abused, so(without profound knowledge) it seems that he's analysis is reasonable. This particular case does not proof the judge's bias. I'm sure there's proof elsewhere :).

First time I gave mr. Sowell 4 out of 5. It's not 'cause he's wrong(still looking for that, sometimes hard) but because the example he used wasn't a good one in my mind. I know exactly what he was going for with that and I've heard it a few times and knowing the entire story with all the facts, I agree. But I know the example wasn't one of the good ones so I gave it 4/5.

But that's not a minus for this great man. One of the brightest living today and seriously:

Does this man ever get tired ???

He's like 80 and he still keeps going!! He's a star and I'd want him to live forever in good health but I truly hope he enjoys what he's doing 'cause if there has ever been time for retirement .. damn.

I noticed mr. Sullum ended with a sort of hopeful message. I have read mr. Sullum's "Saying yes" and I'm sure he's for either legalization or de-criminalization, but having just glanced over the document to which he was referring to in the end of this column, I can say that mr. Costa does not agree with him at all about what should be done. Mr. Costa in fact crushes the idea of legalizing drugs.
Legalization is still a radical idea. I think it is a good idea but I still have small reservations. I think education is at heart of getting people to realize the absurdity of keeping drugs illegal to use and to that end more people must read mr. Sullum's wonderful and eye-opening book "Saying Yes" or others that speak frankly about drugs....
