The big guys choose who they want to fight and they think about history: 'how many times I defended my title.' They try to break a record: 'how long I was there.'

I am convinced that in your zeal to fight against our enemies, you, too, have forgotten what you are fighting for.

Josh Charles

The point is that any law that makes criminals out of 15 million Americans is probably not such a good idea. The point was that drug abuse isn't a criminal issue, it's a healthcare issue.
