The Kubbys are being forced out of Placer County as medical refugees. The narcs will be back with a vengeance. Not in court but on the ground, where punishment can be exacted summarily, in the line of duty, just following orders. The drug war plods along. Placer County is spending its money wisely, and an award of several million dollars is due the Kubbys, a direct result of the malicious persecution and resultant denial of basic human rights. Sadly, the free society that was heralded as America is gone. In its place is DEAland, land of the obedient, home of the sheep. Jay Bergstrom, Sacramento - --- MAP posted-by: Terry F
