MCWILLIAMS' DEATH A TRAGEDY

To the Daily:

Long after the drug war bureaucrats who persecuted him are gone and
forgotten, Peter McWilliams' memory and writings will live on the the
hearts and minds of the people he touched, with his wit and wisdom.

The thoughts and beliefs contained in Peter's books have had a
profound effect on many people, including myself, and his untimely and
tragic passing leaves an emptiness in many of us.

I, for one, will rededicate my efforts to seeing Peter's and our
founding fathers' dreams of a free country, become reality.

Hopefully, those who hounded and destroyed this great American
treasure, will realize the horrible ramifications of their
self-serving agenda and rectify this terrible abomination in American
history, called the "War On Drugs."

Peter, we'll miss you. Farewell, my friend.
