"The Marijuana Policy Project, in February 2003, sought to place ads that "
"directly responded to the Nick and Norm series on stations within the "
-"Washington, D.C., area. Comcast rejected the ads as \"against [their] "
-"policy.\" The local NBC affiliate, WRC, rejected the ads without reviewing "
-"them. The local ABC affiliate, WJOA, originally agreed to run the ads and "
-"accepted payment to do so, but later decided not to run the ads and returned "
-"the collected fees. Interview with Neal Levine, 15 October 2003. These "
-"restrictions are, of course, not limited to drug policy. See, for example, "

"In a well-known short story by H. G. Wells, a mountain climber named Nunez "
"trips (literally, down an ice slope) into an unknown and isolated valley in "
"the Peruvian Andes.<placeholder type=\"footnote\" id=\"0\"/> The valley is "
-"extraordinarily beautiful, with \"sweet water, pasture, an even climate, "

-"fruit.\" But the villagers are all blind. Nunez takes this as an "
-"opportunity. \"In the Country of the Blind,\" he tells himself, \"the "
