DRUG COURTS REMINISCENT OF NAZIS

To the editor:

Re: "A sobering sentence," May 27.

Are we better than Hitler because we persecute an innocent minority because 
of the drugs they use or the plants they grow rather than because of the 
religion they follow?

Are we better than the Nazis because our drug laws threaten an innocent 
minority with fines or jail rather then with execution? I think not.

Alan Randell,

Vancouver
