But who invented the story that drugs and/or prostitution are or have
ever been legal in the Netherlands? Drugs (besides coffee, tabac and alco-

tes c.s. are trespassing, any city, town or village allowing prostitutes
to do their job is trespassing too.

I utterly disagree with everything you are saying, but I am
prepared to fight myself to death for your right to say it.
