RE: Weekly Standard Accidentally Comes Out Against Drug War

Well, for what it’s worth, this is a good piece, too. Keep up the great work.

Thanks also, by the way, for the kind words. I’m glad to know you’re a PA regular.

Best,

Steve

Glad you liked it. I've been enjoying PA for years; it's one of the few blogs I read for actual info as opposed to comedy fodder.
