Armed IRS agents have raided homes and businesses, sometimes resulting in bankruptcy and suicide, sometimes on a phoney tip. Where's the outrage from the Clinton haters then? The reason is that they can't blame Clinton. A grandmother forfeited her house because her grandson had a couple of pot plants. A man forfeited his van that he used to take his wife for cancer treatments because he had a small amount of marijuana pot (used to ease her suffering). The right-wingers show concern about Elian's welfare, yet 10 to 12 children die every day in the country due to neglect. So, where is their outrage? Because they can't blame it all on Clinton, that's why. Bill Hedstrom, San Leandro - --- MAP posted-by: Doc-Hawk
