One need only examine the RCMP's zero tolerance commentaries to the media over the past four years to know where their minds are at. It seems the RCMP are being coached by members of the American DEA on how to play politics, support zero tolerance in opposition to the scholarly evidence and reap the whirlwind of massive budget increases that are sure to come from it all. I bet the U.S. government would even be quite eager to finance a drug war in your country. That's the road you are on now. Matthew Hulett Short Hills, New Jersey - --- MAP posted-by: Ariel
