LOATHSOME COMPARISONS

Alan Randell's comparison of the "persecution" of today's drug dealers
with that of blacks or Jews is loathsome.

To suggest that the role of the drug dealer in our society is anything
other than parasitic is simply laughable.

Show sympathy to the addicted, but not for those who encourage and
profit from their illness.

As for Randell's assertion that The Province is the problem, "blame
the messenger" has never been less valid.
