Common sense dictates the vociferous few hedonistic, out of touch with reality druggies want to live in a misty, introverted world of their own, without interference from the majority. Why is anyone in their right mind giving these potheads credence? Wake up and dismiss these blights on the face of society. Taxpayers' money is being wasted by processing petitions from these non-contributing members of society. If these hippie space cadets don't want to live in the real world, ship them all to an island where they can kill themselves with their stupid drugs. J.R. Baldwin Omemee - --- MAP posted-by: Josh
