The reason District Court Judge Tom Gilbert should be punished - to the maximum extent the laws allow for his marijuana smoking - is the fact that he has no doubt been merciless in sentencing others for the same offense. Judge Gilbert's real crime is hypocrisy, but hey that goes for all the drug crusaders who enforce laws based on lies. Redford Givens San Francisco - --- MAP posted-by: Alex
