Still, I wonder when the press will ask the truly relevant question, which is: "Since your apparent youthful discretions have no bearing on the type of person you are today, do you plan on pardoning the hundreds of thousands of former drug users imprisoned for their youthful indiscretions? Or is that priviledge reserved for people of wealthy and influential families?" Matthew Sullivan, Tampa - --- MAP posted-by: Derek Rea
