I was reading some information online, and found something rather astonishing to me.Who do you think said this:QuoteAuthoritarians have to accept that the world has changed and hounding hundreds of thousands - indeed millions - of young people with harsh criminal penalties is no longer practical or desirable. QuoteWhether it is the authoritarian "introduce life sentences for all pushers and zero tolerance on street users" or the libertarian "legalise all drugs, destroy the black market and treat, rather than punish, those who abuse drugs", both offer seemingly easy solutions to a problem that haunts all western governments.I am an instinctive libertarian who abhors state prohibitions and tends to be sceptical of most government action, whether targeted against drug use or anything else. And on the drugs issue, libertarians and sceptics can have a field day. About the only thing all our witnesses agreed on was that the government's strategy was a failure and prohibition over many decades had not worked. No googling! That's cheating ;-)Seriously, who do you think?Hint: It's a politician. Hint 2: It's not Ron Paul :-p
