What if Osama Bin Laden declared that he would turn himself in if NFL players even scored on his Al Qaeda trained football players – and his challenge was not only ignored by the NFL but there was zero media coverage? For the past 8 years I've made an eerily similar challenge to pro crime advocates in law enforcement, police, media, or elective office to face me in a public forum with a guaranteed shutout against defenders of current drug policy. The media coverage is truly nonexistent.

        Osama would be stupid to make such a challenge as the matter is NOT a matter of opinion: it can be settled on the field – probably in less than five minutes after any NFL score. Conversely, pro crime [by definition] advocates would be equally stupid accepting since any challenge of the dangerous drugs mythology would leave them with absolutely no evidence in their favor: a shutout as guaranteed. Police are terrified of facing any reformer – even those who would concede the dangerous drugs mythology: it's that lopsided.

       The drug policy debate is also NOT a matter of opinion. It can be settled easily in a debate forum. Once the dangerous drugs mythology falls the only argument left is the lame “we need to send a message” - that lying to the public about drugs is OK. This argument will be hailed by pro crime advocates bonding socially over martinis or their 4^th cup of coffee. How do they get away with it?
