Jct: Take it from someone with a real science degree unlike low-tech
Rory Leishman, US statistics show alcohol kills around 40,000 a year,
tobacco kills around 400,000 a year and marijuana kills zero. Zero is
a unique number to people with real science degrees.

If you are going to let escapees from the asylum like Rory state
blatant errors in your newspaper, you should at least mention that he
couldn't take the $1 bet against my $100 to put his money where his
mouth is and show the "overwhelming scientific evidence" he is relying
on. Har har har har.

And if he isn't lying, then I bet $100 to $1 Rory Leishman is a low-
tech idiot.
