Comment: Parenthetical remark by the Sun editor; headline by newshawk

GHB IS NOTHING NEW

Once again, the Sun has shown its ignorance and its hidden agenda.
("Rave drug warning," June 1.) GHB, the drug referred to, has been
prevalent in the bodybuilding community for quite a long time. It has
also been used in bars for quite some time too!

So let me suggest better titles to your article: "Bar drug warning,"
or even better:  "Muscleman drug warning." Obviously "Rave drug"
sounds more scary and goes hand in hand with the Calgary police and
Sun agenda to destroy the Rave movement, a movement they know barely
nothing about.

Why doesn't the Sun stick with western & country bars or
alcohol-filled strip clubs? These are at least topics about which you
have way more first-hand information. By the way, had the Sun been
published in the 18th century, it would have been the first in line to
burn the innocent Salem "witches." So, stop spreading your ignorance! 
You are misleading people!
