: I give up, who is JQ Wilson?
Wilson recently had an editorial published in the Wall Street Journal advocating mandatory drug testing and coerced treatment. I responded to that, but was not published. Then, while looking for something else, I came across reference to his name as having bragged about rejecting Milton Friedman's recomendation to Nixon to decriminalize marijuana. At that time, he was an advisor to the president. Not sure just what his official status is now or has been in the mean time. But I sure would like to find out.
