If Attorney General John Ashcroft has his way, the federal government will not only dictate to the American people what we may or may not put into our own bodies via the drug prohibition laws, our federal government will dictate to us when and how we shall die. I am sure glad the Republicans champion personal freedom. Kirk Muse Vancouver, Wash. 98668 - --- MAP posted-by: Doc-Hawk
