LETTER WRITER WAGNER JR. TOLD IT LIKE IT IS!

This is for Michael C.O. Wagner Jr. (Letters, "Here's what you can do if 
you really care about kids," Oct. 10]: Right on! I thought I could hit 
hard, but this guy left me laughing on the floor.

I say we build a nice Disney World-like land for the timid and fearful on a 
remote island, and send them there to sacrifice any and all freedoms they 
wish (vs. corrupting our nation's founding principles). Liberty and freedom 
are about being free from totalitarianism, not free from risk. How bizarre 
we have become that we literally jail a man in a cage for decades for 
growing and consuming a plant.
