Week
5/28/98
On Tuesday, May 26, ABC Television aired a remarkable and important hour of programming, John Stossel's "Sex, Drugs and Consenting Adults." Featured, among others on the show were Peter McWilliams, author of "Ain't Nobody's Business if You Do" and Will Foster, imprisoned for 93 years for cultivation of medicinal marijuana. But the show's highlight, or low-light, was DEA Chief Thomas Constantine, who unwittingly demonstrated the hypocrisy of the Drug War, and who, when asked about cigarettes, stated his belief that the war will engulf far larger numbers of Americans in the future when he said: "When we look down the road, I would say 10, 15, 20 years from now, in a gradual fashion, smoking will probably be outlawed in the United States." The transcript of "Sex, Drugs and Consenting Adults can be viewed at http://www.abcnews.com/onair/abcnewsspecials/transcripts/specials_stossel980526_trans.html. To send your congratulations to John Stossel and ABC, e-mail [email protected].
