4. I don't think it's necessary to name call

Maybe Patrick reads DU and he'd like to talk about this. I'm just an average, everyday citizen, but I've read the research (not just about addiction - that's what Patrick has focused on because that's his issue.) My concern is the science behind the law - the justification.

anyway, I'd welcome a discussion of this. that won't happen with name calling.

I'd also like to see Patrick Kennedy and Michelle Alexander debate this issue. That would be a good conversation to have.
