Lacoste Note: Parenthetical remark by the Sun editor; headline by newshawk DISGUSTED AND DISTRUSTFUL IN THE most liberal-minded countries in the world I still cannot endorse or trust the actions or intentions of our government or its enforcing body, the RCMP. I am disgusted to the point of nausea by the fact that ordinary citizens can have their doors beaten down by heavily armed madmen with the blessings of our elected leaders, to search out and destroy flowers: Hemp flowers - medicinal, healing, invigorating, natural, harmless, sacred flowers. Until this violation of human rights is eradicated I remain distrustful, unco-operative, fearful, ashamed and personally violated by our authoritative bodies. Any country that makes criminals of its ordinary citizens is a country ripe for revolt. Is that what we want? I don't, but sign me ... M.
