Woohoo, the Dallas Morning News actually published one.
Letter sent in response to drug-related violence in Laredo and published in this morning's Dallas Morning News:
There's an easy solution to the violence on both sides of the river caused by the Zetas and other drug cartels, a solution that would also save hundreds of millions, if not billions, of taxpayer dollars: legalize drugs.
A little thought and common sense is all it takes to realize that drugs only lead to violence because of their illegality: There are no Colombian coffee cartels or Chilean copper cartels, because cartels are not a viable business model for trading a legal product.

Congrats Nigel!
