POLICE-STATE TACTICS MUST BE AVOIDED

Thanks for publishing Alan Randell's outstanding letter, Reader regards 
media court coverage as a tool of oppression, in the July 24 edition of The 
Times Review.

I'd like to add that there is a thin line between the government dictating 
to its adult citizens which recreational drugs the citizens may or may not 
use and the same government dictating which foods we may or may not consume.

Do we want our police arresting and jailing people for eating foods that 
are not on a government-approved list?

Hopefully not.

Do we want our police arresting each other for eating doughnuts?

Maybe.
