Congratulations to David Okner for his 11.1% result. He met par for a two-way race. So did I for a 3-way race (1.1%).

4. People put in jail for having a bad habit.

5. Murderers, rapists and others released to make room for violators of drug laws.

6. We pay for drug warriors, to keep drug offenders in jail and build prisons.

7. Illegality causes high prices, so some users steal to get money for drugs.
