BETTER STAY OUT OF THE U.S.

Pauline Beaulne, who says, "I wasn't arrested, I was rescued," in the 
Vincent Ball story of Oct. 15, may think she was lucky to be arrested 
but I wonder if she would think the same if she had been sentenced to prison.

It could easily have turned out that way and probations for drugs are 
notorious for revocation due to the fact that addiction's main 
symptom is relapse so she may yet experience this feature of modern 
drug salvation.

Here in the U.S., for instance, we have almost 2.3 million souls who 
have been saved by the tender ministrations of our insane prison 
system and the number grows every day. Stay out of the United States, 
home of the Drug War, Miss Beaulne, lest ye be saved here!
