Quote of the week...

"Tyrants don't respond to any kind of appeasement. Tyrants don't respond to negotiation. Tyrants respond to toughness. And that was true in the 1930s and 1940s when we failed to respond to tyranny, and it is true today."

- U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice

Smith, together with the Salient’s Chris Lacaria, debated against legalization, while HRC member Ryan Delany and John Sheffield of the Harvard Libertarian Forum advocated legalization. The debate marked the first-ever joint event sponsored by HRC, HLF, and the Salient. (Photo by Meghan Grizzle).
