TORIES TURN GREEN BUT NOT SMART

To the Editor:

After reviewing the science, and acknowledging public outcry about 
environmental issues, the Tory Party is suddenly trying to come off 
as "green." When it comes to the War on Certain Drugs, however, the 
Tories refuse to look past their twisted ideology.

Undaunted by facts, science, history, or public opinion, the Tories 
are promising to hire more officers, build more jails, and "crack 
down" on drug users and dealers - a policy which has proven time and 
time again to be ineffective and counterproductive.

Unencumbered by common sense or critical thinking, Conservative 
voters are gobbling it up by the spoonful.

God help us all if this government ever wins a majority.  Hopefully, 
the media will wake up and make this ridiculous Drug War a major 
issue during the coming election.
