A week or so ago, the federal government sent us its Drug Czar, his mind already made up, to lecture us on the evils of legalizing three ounces of pot. Having had Yucca Mountain crammed up my butt by the federal government, I am fully prepared to vote to legalize three ounces of marijuana and politely tell the federal government where it can stick it! The feds tell us pot is a deadly killer, but high level radiation is just fine! Question 9 is clearly a states'-rights issue. Neither Big Brother, your priest/pastor, nor mommy will be in the voting booth with you in November. Vote your conscience, but vote! Sincerely, Johnny Walker - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Stevens
