"Leaving the Right"

I wish I had time to write about Sullivan's manifesto he published yesterday. It was really pathetic. I just wish I could find someone who didn't smoke pot (nor wanted to) that was for the legalization of it. My gut feeling is that there are almost zero people of that inclination.

Pot smokers argue for legalization the way a torturer would argue for torture legalization: hey, lots of people do it, and you can't prove it's really that bad, and there are worse things, so why not?

I love reading Sullivan, he's a good conservative and smart about politics. But his pro-pot stance befuddles me, and I can only surmise that he is pro-pot because he enjoys it personally.
