In Russell's case, the angle played is the subjective attack on Canadian law in relation to illegal drugs. Sorry Russell, it's not legal ... yet. In any case, these rants have all the hallmarks of a spoiled child telling mom and dad they're hated because the child can't have their way. Russell, try going to a real police state and see what life is like there. I suspect you'll want to come home, kiss the ground and be thankful you live in Canada.
