The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

    American Marijuana Policy - an allegory.

    A man walks down a sidewalk.  Another man says "Don't walk down that sidewalk, I'll ruin your life".  The first man, says "I've walked on this sidewalk my whole life, and I'm quite successful. You must be mistaken".  The second man takes out a bat and beats the first to a bloody pulp and says "See!  I told you so."
