In Harper's mind everything must be categorized as either 'good' or 'evil' and then exploited for political gain. How does his holier-than-thou stance on the pervasive use of pot address the associated problems? Why doesn't he take another step into his ideological fantasy world and try to reduce the number of unplanned teenage pregnancies by making pre-marital sex illegal? His pot policies only insure criminal organizations will continue to rake in exorbitant tax-free profits. Canada needs a prime minister who can cooperatively work with others to formulate realistic solutions for Canadian problems, not a self-righteous demigod. One thing seems certain: illicit drug dealers will vote Conservative. Lloyd Atkins, Vernon, B.C. - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
