Glatley TOO HARD ON SOFT DRUGS Re: Shootings in Surrey. Mayor Dianne Watts' statement about "legalization of drugs is an age old argument that won't solve the problem" is about as well thought out as her tougher sentences for handguns. Courts are already tossing out major hard drug cases because they took too long to get to trial. Busting more people sure isn't going to make things better. Next, she will be espousing the power of prayer to deal with issues. That always makes people feel good even if it does nothing. Maybe lock the bad guys up in old churches. Keep up the chuckle quota, Dianne. T. Glatley - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
