Stunningly stupid editorial

The once venerable Washington Post has published a snarky anti-marijuana opinion piece that just reeks of the kind of muddled thinking that has proven to be a gateway to fascism and fundamentalism and other acute mental illnesses on the part of misinformed conservatives. So sad. The Washington Post used to be a reliable source of information and clear thinking.

It's heartening to read the comments to the piece (my own among them, from which this post is "plagiarized"), which seem to be about 20-1 against the columnist's drivel. Hint to the Old Gray Lady... there will probably be some excellent columnists being freed up from the New York Times in the next few months. This could be an excellent opportunity to get one who can think.
