ONE MORE TIME, BECAUSE I LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE TAKE VERBAL POTSHOTS AT ME

I have gotten a lot of emails concerning my stand on the drug issues, and 
most of them from south of the border. I guess most of the Albertans that 
read our paper are as rednecked as I am.

Most of the emails from south of the border advocate legalizing drugs in 
some form or another. The contention seems to be if enough people are doing 
stupid and abusive things the best way to deal with it is to legalize it, 
that way you will cease to have a problem.

The problem is, to what extremes will go before we pull our heads out of 
the sand as parents and as a society to save what is left of what used to 
be a God Fearing, Honest and Trustworthy Society?

Yes God has given us the right to chose right from wrong, but he did not 
change the bible or His mind to make it right.
