That's a way better position to take than when the Carter Administration authorized the use of Paraquat on Cannabis crops in Columbia and Mexico.

When that was happening, it did a lot to sour me on his Administration - although, do not get me wrong - I'm not trying to slam President Carter, I have come to respect him as a decent, honest man, and, in retrospect, a competent and highly-underrated President.

Beyond that, I also believe President Carter has conducted himself, after his term as President, as a true Statesman and Patriot.

I also believe that had he not been defeated by Reagan, we would likely not be where we are now, as a Nation, especially regarding energy policy.
