FREEDOM IS JUST AN EMPTY WORD

Editor:

I'm writing about the thoughtful column by Tibor Machan, "Willie 
Nelson, public enemy?" published Oct. 1.

I'd like to add that our drug laws show that the word freedom is just 
an empty word.

If adult citizens are not free to choose for themselves what goes 
into their own bodies, even in the privacy of their own homes, then 
the word "freedom" is meaningless, empty and hollow.
