Rush Limbaugh. Fame doesn't make wrong right.

[eno_]

Fame has little to do with it. You walk among addicts every day. The Drug War helps almost none of them. It harms some of them. It has no effect on the vast majority of them. Very very few of them look like a Lower East Side needle-junkie rocker. For 90% of addicts, the drug of choice is alcohol.

The Drug War has to be evaluated in light of its costs and its (very low) effectiveness. In this case, the cost is to corrupt an organization that is critical to air safety. It is all a question of what your priorities are.
