Writer Doreen Burke spent an entire letter praising the virtue of making the "right choice" (her choice), but at the same time berates marijuana advocate Marc Emery for providing another choice. What she really wants is for her choice to be the only choice. And that would be no choice at all. The ad hominem reference to Mr. Emery as a corporate entity, as if his is the only one that exists, is also arguable when you consider the corporate prison/industrial war package being sold by schools today that are so Orwellian, a sizable fraction of students can't swallow it without chasers of Ritalin. Methinks I smell some hypocrisy here. Chuck Beyer, Port Alberni, B.C. - --- MAP posted-by: Terry Liittschwager
