The Reporter, July 17, page 11) it is apparent that what they need most is an education about Constitution and Bill of Rights and how our forefathers fought and died so that we could enjoy personal freedom and liberty. These kids are just regurgitating what they have been told in D.A.R.E. classes and fail to realize that personal responsibility is the key factor in deciding to use or not use drugs. It sounds like they want to live in a police state. Thomas Jefferson said "Those who would trade safety for freedom deserve neither." Dave Lane Santa Cruz, CA - --- MAP posted-by: Keith Brilhart
