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? Alan Randell Victoria, British Columbia - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
