The silver-haired chief of Virgin, Richard Branson, has achieved major international coverage with an eloquent and cleverly constructed piece slamming prohibition. He neutralises all the usual prohibitionist furphies, leaving his critics with only the weakest of arguments, as can be seen in comments to today's article in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Meanwhile a Herald Poll attached to the article is running at 81% in favour of decriminalisation.
When will Australia get a politician with the intelligence and fortitude to stand up on this? The time is ripe.
