PUFFING POLITICIANS ARE HYPOCRITES

Re: Politicians have puffed, but are undecided on pot, Forester, September 25.

There has to be a stronger word than hypocrite to describe someone who 
indulged in an activity while young and yet now supports jailing those who 
are caught doing the same damn thing.

If you get an opportunity, please ask your sanctimonious MPs if they would 
call the cops if they found out their children were using illegal drugs. On 
second thought, they'd probably lie about it.

After all, becoming a hypocrite is but a 'gateway drug' to becoming a liar 
too, don't you think?
