LEGALIZE DRUGS

RE: "METH lab apartment declared unfit," Jan. 15.

This is total garbage. In choosing to omit the fact that the problems
associated with home-based drug labs would disappear overnight if our
government legalized drugs, you have shown that, along with 99.99% of
your media colleagues, you support drug prohibition - the state's
brutal crusade to amuse and entertain the majority by ruining the
lives of an innocent minority. Abraham Lincoln was wrong. You don't
have to fool all the people all the time in order to oppress the
people. All that is required is for the majority to be fooled all the
time, and sadly, that task is child's play once you have the media
behind you.

(You obviously think there's a madness to the "meth-od.")
