SPLIT VOTE

Sir-I will most certainly split my vote on Saturday - between Labour
and the Greens.

The unbelievably crass and facile attack on the Greens by National
stuns me - is this happening here? It is. Sad days.

As thinking people everywhere must consider that the situation now
with marijuana is so very similar to that of liquor prohibition,
previously endorsed - and then found wanting and repealed - so must it
be with marijuana.

I do not use the stuff, as I am too busy drinking; only, in the name
of common sense, let those who wish to, do so, without the assistance
of criminals.
