1 US IL: PUB LTE: Gas, Not Drugs, Supports TerrorismTue, 14 May 2002
Source:Journal-Standard, The (IL) Author:Smeathers, Bill Area:Illinois Lines:36 Added:05/15/2002

I am writing to voice my opinion about the "drugs/terrorist" commercials now running amok. It is disgusting to say that everyone who buys marijuana has some part in the funding of international terrorism. The rationale behind this allows our government to take away our rights, makes us pay mindless fines, increases defense spending and builds prisons (human warehouses) for pot smokers.

The point well worth making here is, each and everyone who purchases gasoline from companies that purchase oil from "terrorist nations" are actually doing more to fund terrorism than pot buyers. Last check, this was virtually "every" major oil company in the United States, so everyone who buys gas from them is directly responsible for funding terrorist attacks against the United States of America.

I wonder, is it the dollars a pot smoker spends on a bag of cannabis, produced by a local grower, which funds terrorism, or is it the dollars which "you" spend for gasoline derived from the crude oil purchased from Saddam Hussein?
