"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters."

What Michael Phelps Should Have Said
Radley Balko has a strong contender for rant of the month.
Wow. Speaking as one who probably wouldn't use marijuana even if it were legal I have to say I agree with every damn line of that rant.
When will this anti-pot craziness end? When can we start spending law-enforcement resources on actual law enforcement and stop creating victims of victimless crimes?
That kind of writing is not only inspired but beautiful in its honesty and persuasiveness.
