DEFYING THE LAW

Editor -- Daniel J. Loran (Letters, "New Confederacy," Sept. 18), in his 
shock upon learning that Santa Cruz officials distributed medical marijuana 
in violation of federal law, argues that "defiance [of laws], for whatever 
reasons, is not acceptable."

I guess that also holds true for those "criminal subversives" who held the 
Boston Tea Party? Mahatma Gandhi? Rosa Parks?
