...support Question 8, which would change the laws that govern drug-dependency treatment and create a Drug Treatment Trust Fund. This fund would include fines paid under the state's criminal drug laws, the money used in connection with drug crimes and the proceeds from property sold because of connections to drug-related criminal activity. Question 8 represents a smart and efficient drug strategy that provides cost-supervised treatment for drug offenders rather than time in prison, which has proven to be a less effective form of rehabilitation for low-level drug offenders.

Fuzzy math is aimed at exactly this issue: It provides a set of tools to find optimal solutions to problems by analyzing hybrids between several different alternatives...
...fought hard for the plan, which originated with Democrats in the state legislature, but came up short. In other words, Gore's cartoon version of Bush is no more complete than Bush's cartoon version of Gore.

Inside the State Department, a dedicated group of "democracy first" proponents argue that the lesson of Serbia is clear: encourage democracy, and you grease the bad guy's fall. Serbia's transformation is encouraging. And though one election does not a democracy make, last week's moving events will provide a powerful argument for those like Madeleine Albright and others in the Clinton Administration...
