THOUGHTS ON MUSEUM, RECYCLING AND MARIJUANA

I am writing this letter to talk about the museum and other
complaints.

I totally agree regarding the smallness of the museum, and with Alli
Graham's suggestion that the old police building would have been ideal.

When the hoopla of a nice, new, bigger building was talked about, many
of us were very happy, but not now. It is less than one-quarter of the
size of the old building.

Yes, I too am upset about a lot of the recyclers, and yes, it is extra
work to clean and flatten cans and flatten cardboard, but it saves
space. I must say though - that it is showing that most folks care
about recycling and are doing it, but try and be respectful about it
and about those who clean up there.

I do not know Todd Lumley, but I do agree with him. The government
needs to realize that by legalizing marijuana, it would cut down on
the criminals and crime.

Perhaps the big debt that the country has could be paid off by the
extra taxes.

Like alcohol and prohibition, it could be better controlled. I do not
smoke it but I raised five kids and I do know a lot about it, and it
is probably less dangerous than alcohol.

That's my story and I am sticking to it. I do not agree anyone under
19 should be allowed to smoke it.
