Campbell OVERZEALOUS IDIOTS IN OFFICE Is there no one better for the job than guys who say marijuana is worse than an earthquake or tsunami? When I was young, I smoked a few joints and did not transition to the hard stuff. I did transition from beer to gin and tonics to Beefeater martinis. My elderly parents perceived a drug pervert behind every bush, and every car that had tinted windows was driven by a drug dealer. Of course, my parents had their drug of choice to get high every night with a double martini. To me it was just their drug of choice yet they did not want the younger generation to have their choice. Our jails are bursting with people guilty of victimless crimes while serious criminals can kill someone and get off lightly with a plea bargain and a reduced sentence for good behavior. How can the younger generation have any faith in those who govern when we have such overzealous idiots elected to the Montana Legislature and positions of authority? E.
