Well, this is a terribly short-sighted way to look at the topic . . . since there is a strong chance that the decrease in jail population will be offset by repeat offenders, attendant criminal acts, no commensurate decrease in "War on Drugs"-style low-efficiency enforcement policies, etc.
If the goal is to reduce institutional racism by changing the sentencing guidelines, I'm fine w/ it. However, the guarantee of cost savings rings hollow, especially since crack is not commonly a 'recreational' drug, and the bill apparently does nothing to address the underlying problems that lead to use/abuse of cocaine/crack, meaning that enforcement will drop with absolutely nothing else to address use. That's not a recipe for success, is it?

Also go fuck yourself in the process!

You kind of started the whole thing here . . . you told the dude to go fuck himself before any of his insults toward you. Just pointing out.
Also, why should he go fuck himself for taking a strong anti-drug stand? He has the causation/correlation loop backwards and made some value judgments I wouldn't agree with, but you kind of jumped on his shit there for a relatively mild reaction.
