PROHIBITIONISTS LACK INTELLIGENCE
Re: 'Gutsy drug czar challenges no-guts politicians' (Nov. 11).
Donald MacPherson says Canada desperately needs a national discussion
on drug policy reform. The problem is prohibitionists are like
religious fanatics. They refuse to accept or acknowledge any view
that differs from their own. Prohibitionists believe, despite
historical and scientific evidence to the contrary, that what they
are doing is right. They cannot be swayed. It isn't that they have no
guts; it is that they lack intelligence. How do you discuss anything
sensibly with people who are not sensible?
