a self-styled texas cowboy is waging a cross-country battle against the country's drug policy, one hoof step at a time.
howard wooldridge, a resident of fort worth, texas, and retired police officer, rode his horse more than 3-thousand miles across the country to speak out against u-s drug policy.
wooldridge believes illegal drugs should be treated the same way as alcohol.
"we should spend more time chasing dwis instead of people like willie nelson who want to smoke marijuana on their back porch," wooldridge said.
wooldridge's trip began in march in los angeles. he traveled with sam and misty, a one-eyed horse, and reached battery park in new york city wednesday. his girlfriend, norma sapp, followed in a horse trailer.
wooldridge says that after three decades of fueling the anti-drug war with over half a (t) trillion tax dollars, the court system and prisons are choked with nonviolent drug violations and drugs are more potent and widespread than ever.
the 3,300-mile trip was sponsored by law enforcement against prohibition. the group is made up of current and former law enforcement officials and advocates for drug policy reform.
wooldridge said he traveled about 25 miles day. because much of his trip stretched across highways, he often walked with the horses instead of riding them.
"no real cowboy would ride his horse on hard pavement," he said.
this guy is great.

there was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all things mechanical. after serving his company loyally for over 30 years, he happily retired. several years later the company contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were having with one of their multimillion dollar machines. they had tried everything and everyone else to get the machine to work but to no avail. in desperation, they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many of their problems in the past. the engineer reluctantly took the challenge. he spent a day studying the huge machine. at the end of the day, he marked a small "x" in chalk on a particular component of the machine and stated, "this is where your problem is." the part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly again. the next week, the company received a bill for $50,000 from the engineer for his service. they demanded an itemized accounting of his charges. the engineer responded briefly: one chalk mark ... $1 knowing where to put it ... $49,999 it was paid in full and the engineer retired again in peace.
a preacher retired and moved to the country to enjoy life and practice his hobby of yard work. needing a lawn mower, he headed into town to buy one. on the way he saw a sign advertising a lawn mower for sale. he stopped at the house and a young lad came out to greet him. the preacher asked about the lawn mower and the kid said it was behind the house. the two went to look at the lawn mower. the engine was sputtering along at idle speed. the preacher increased the speed of the engine and mowed a few strips. satisfied that the mower would do the job they settled on a price of $25.00. later in the day, the young lad was riding his bicycle when he spied the preacher pulling on the engine starter rope. the kid stopped and watched for a couple of minutes. he asked, "what's wrong?" the reply came, "i can't get this mower started. do you know how?" the kid said, "yep." "well, how do you do it? tell me!", the preacher yelled. the kid replied, "you have to cuss it." the preacher rose up indignantly. "now you listen here. i am a preacher and if i ever did cuss, not saying i have, i've forgotten how to do it after all these years." with a wise look on his face well beyond his years, the kid said, "preacher, you keep on pulling that rope and it'll all come back to ya."
