Fradette Note: The date in parentheses was added by the Sun editor LIES AND FALLACIES READING THE juvenile, unenlightened arguments put forward by big-government apologists like Roy Clancy (June 2) in favour of continuing prohibition on soft-drugs, is perhaps the best advertisement in favour of their legalization. As with all anti-pot rhetoric, his column is filled with lies and fallacies. Roy revels in referring to pot-smokers as "lethargic, slow-witted stoners." That is like branding all social drinkers as drunken alcoholics. Thanks to ignorant individuals like Clancy, who've learned nothing from history, and blindly defer personal decision-making to distant bureaucrats, the noose big-government has wrapped around society's neck remains tight.
