     	Well while I agree with some of your opinions   
   do you really think it is worth feeding the troll?   
   I cut the newsgroups back to talk.politics.misc and talk.   
   politics.drugs leaving out the abortion, atheism etc   
   newsgroups.   
      
   	Where are going to get the sanity to legalize   
   drugs unless you introduce wider use of cannabis which   
   promotes "sanity" in some overly rigid personalities   
   long propagandized to accept the Government's version   
   of reality around drugs.
