"EVEN IF ONE TAKES EVERY REEFER MADNESS ALLEGATION OF THE PROHIBITIONISTS AT FACE VALUE, MARIJUANA PROHIBITION HAS DONE FAR MORE HARM TO FAR MORE PEOPLE THAN MARIJUANA EVER COULD": William F. Buckley died this morning. Since we have here an explicit ban on politics and an implicit one on religion (to which you are admonished to adhere in any comments), I'll excise those two things from this brief post. Um, Buckley was best known for his book Man at Yale and for his entertainingly vehement opinions on language, although he dabbled in spy novels, spy-being, siring satirical authors, and gay-bashing Gore Vidal to defend himself from charges that he was a Nazi.
