[NU Sports] McGee Fire or Not?

[Evan Bradley]

I'm not advocating any course of action here, but I have to point out
that there is a *clear* difference between, say, advocating the
legalization of marijuana (or the end of prohibition, if this were the
1930s) and condoning driving under its influence; surely, those of you
who are against the prohibition of alcohol are also against drunk
driving?

It's this kind of oversimplification and mischaracterization that
leads to animosity and makes politics completely unbearable, at least
to those of us who value the discussion of real issues over the
slinging of insults.

As the saying goes, think when you drink (smoke/talk/etc.).
