In Gloria's new stupor ... err article, she wonders out loud in her foggy state of mind why people from all over the world are sending her e-mails about her marijuana articles. This is either due to stupidity or a perfect example of why marijuana should remain illegal. It doesn't take a genius to solve this mystery, only a person with a clear head. When you Google Gloria's "Why Isn't Pot Legal In The U.S." article, you see that it has been posted on quite a few Web sites and recognition given to the Tribune-Herald as the contributing source. Oh how proud it must make this paper to have its articles reprinted on sites such as Cannabis News! That is where I would expect moronic articles like Gloria's to appear -- not in my hometown newspaper! In between what I assume are bong hits, Gloria goes on to make the priceless revelation that, "For all these reasons, marijuana has the potential to lead a people to sustainability and independence. That means less or no dependence on health care, welfare, gas stations or any other major corporations." Does she really read what she writes or is she so stoned that any gibberish just makes total sense and is in harmony with her cosmic state of empty-headedness? Please write and question the validity of these useless articles in our paper. It is my understanding that not only does this paper go to many local schools but that Gloria is actually employed at the Hawaii Academy of Arts and Sciences which means she has direct interaction with young impressionable students. She is also associated with a program on OC16 who I would think enjoys the image of family TV. What are their views on this issue and drug use? Gary Pangle Hilo - --- MAP posted-by: Beth Wehrman
