Time To Stop Trying To Be Big Brother

I am a little sick of your criticism of the Democratic Party's platform to
legalize marijuana. Frankly, I am a bit sick of this reefer madness that you
seem to support.

There is no real reason, other than Pat Robertson's religious feelings, that
marijuana should be illegal.

I support the legalizing of pot 100 percent and the Democrats' efforts to
legalize it. It is about time that the government and newspapers stop trying
to be Big Brother.
