COMPARING RICE KRISPIES TO MARIJUANA

In response to your specious comment at the end of the letter to the editor 
from Alan Randall, who compared jailing people for marijuana possession to 
jailing them for eating Rice Krispies: Ask any parent of a little kid what 
happens when they eat sugar-laden breakfast cereal, then compare that to 
"getting high" and you will see that, indeed, you can get high from it.

What have you to say now that is smart, insightful and witty? Nothing? I 
thought so.

Just like all the other smartass comments you append to letters. Jerk.

(We'll let our readers decide for themselves whether comparing marijuana 
with breakfast cereal is persuasive -- and let the record show we didn't 
stoop to insults)
