CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

Re Marijuana Activist Handed Three Months In Jail (Aug. 20):

Former MP Svend Robinson is given a conditional discharge for the 
apparently premeditated theft of a $64,000 ring, a crime for which he 
pleaded guilty.

Meanwhile, Marc Emery, president of the B.C. Marijuana Party, gets three 
months in jail for pleading guilty to making a political point at a 
political rally, by passing a joint to one of his supporters.

Aren't we teaching our kids something wonderful about power and justice?
