WHO'S ON DOPE WHEN KILLERS GET LESS?

I seem to recall not very long ago a couple of cases in the judicial
"system," cases of fathers killing their own children. In these cases,
the convicted killers were given minor sentences, ones that in the
legal system are referred to as terms that can be done standing on
their heads.

Well now we as Canadian taxpayers are allowing the American justice
system to send Marc Emery to prison for a longer period of
incarceration (for selling seeds to, I might add, people who wanted
them) than cold blooded killers?

Where are our morals? I for one cannot discern exactly who is on dope
here, It is unthinkable that growing pot is less acceptable in our
society than murder.
