I claimed that drug legalization is not a good issue for a 
libertarian school board candidate, and you changed the 
subject from legalization to zero tolerance.  I don't see
how you changing the subject constitutes me quibbling.

So when you changed the subject from legalization to
zero tolerance, I hope it wasn't merely to obfuscate 
our agreement on this point and keep the drug debate going.
Again: I'm trying to discuss what's good for libertarianism, 
not what's good for drug liberalization.
