Lunch With Sharda Sekaran of the Drug Policy Alliance

Going to try a page out of the Joi Ito handbook and blog lunch. Plus is a good excuse to use the free wireless in Bryant Park. Had lunch with Sharda Sekaran of the excellent Drug Policy Alliance. Talked mainly about the global politics of imperialism and the way the current administration is handling things. the DPA is shifting towards more of Think Tank model, with some libertarian leanings at the expense of its focus on social justice issues. Be interesting to see how that shift plays out.

If there is one up shot to the way Bush and co have let the economy fall apart and abandoned the states to deal with their budget crisis themselves it might be better drug policy. The current draconian drug laws in America are costing the states huge amounts of money. Sad to think, but it might be economic desperation not reason that gets them to change their policies.

I agree with you on the main issue of the topic. I remember, long time ago, Jack London said something like "Everything positive has a negative side; everything negative has a positive side." I also find it interesting to see different points of views and learn useful things in the discussion.
