STATE OF DISBELIEF

Re: Brian Lilley's column of Sept. 23 ("Crime bill a step in the right 
direction"), I don't remember hearing of Canadians being concerned 
about people producing marijuana in the comfort of their own homes, 
yet the Conservatives are aiming to introduce stiffer penalties for 
growing pot in legislation that also gets tougher on sex crimes. When 
it comes to sentencing, they seem to be equating marijuana production 
- -- a victimless crime -- with crimes that truly are reprehensible such 
as sexual offences against children. Anyone who approves this bill is 
out of touch with reality.

(Tougher sentences for many offences are needed, so much of the bill
is worthwhile)
