Gary Johnson on CNN

Talking about ending the drug war.

Didn’t get all his facts exactly right, but close enough, and definitely making good points.

Oh, and kudos to whoever got him the suit and haircut.

I agree with him for the most part. However mountain bike riding is not identical to horseback riding. The former really does impact the environment more. Horses do not require a “bare earth” trail in wilderness areas. No cyclist is going to use trail that go from 4k to 11k in just a few miles.

Bare earth trails friendly to horses can be regularly dammed with logs to prevent soil erosion. Cyclist paths must sideline burms and dams.

Well, we can see that he clearly means what he says and he would not betray the drug reform movement if elected because the issue is so central to his campaign. That’s a lot better than the current bum in the White House.

Really, his argument is the basic libertarian argument: “The tighter you clench your fist, the more star systems will slip through your grasp.” 🙂

Good luck to Gary!

Here he is on Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano. I still prefer Ron Paul, but Gary Johnson would make an excellent running mate for Ron, and so would the Judge.
