I'm sorry if this is getting off topic and I meant to mention this earlier but anyone else notice how clever fox news played this in this interview. I'm not saying they have an agenda or anything but note how at minute 2:00 O'reilly (seeming playing cannabis advocate here) say's look we ended alcohol prohibition and sky didn't fall in, yes a number of people abuse alcohol but adults already use soft drugs, like marijuana, why not legalize it. At which Mr. Krauthammer replies, that is a false arguement, it is not like we are choosing between one or the other, they will be additive, like alcohol and cocaine (quick cut to people smoking crack and snorting lines).

from a prohib perspective this is genious! his answer has absolutely nothing to do with the question, but the use of the alcohol with cocaine is not only sexy and attention grabbing, the two have a very salient association with each other (anyone who has ever tried coke can tell you the two go together like cookies and milk). Thus the mind automatically accepts what he is saying about people combining hard drugs with alcohol, missing that he completely dodged the question. brilliant. hats off, fox.

I don't know if fox has really has an agenda or not, and like I said I thought O'reilly was very fair, I normally agree with most of what Charles says, too, but I think historically, from the Hearsts Newspapers to now the old media seems to have vested interest in cannabis prohibition and this clip is further evidence. :twocents:

anyways, sorry to get so far off topic. Best of luck to this dad, hope you can get a good attorney and try to keep the media honest. good luck.
