[Lnc-business] More from the Reason Poll on Millennials

[Joshua Katz]

Yes. I am in favor of candidates doing what they think is right. We're not
obligated to provide resources for candidates who step far enough away
(which is not applicable to this particular question, just a general
observation.)

For the record, I think many of those poor people who oppose legalization
of cocaine can be helped, particularly by charismatic and successful
candidates providing coherent arguments.
