'RIGHT' MORALS The editors of the Tribune-Review need to understand that it is Prohibition that brings all the misery associated with whatever drug is capturing the limelight at any given moment ("Ecstasy demands answers," Dec. 2). "Ecstasy" in its pure form was known as MDMA to generations of psychiatrists when it was handed out like candy for whatever disorder du jour that secular religion redefined morals and politics into. Where were all the deaths and "learning disabilities," amongst other "evils," when psychiatry approved these drugs? When presented with "facts" about drugs, teens generally do listen; when presented with demonizations from vested interests passed off as "education," it turns out kids are not so gullible. Kids understand that the government will lie to them to exert influence in a moralistic attempt to dissuade drug use. Exerting influence and passing it off as "education" was understood to be indoctrination's when the Stazi or Gestapo were educating children. When DARE uses the same "police" tactics, somehow indoctrination becomes acceptable because DARE teaches the "right" morals. Go figure. That is precisely what the Stazi and Gestapo wanted to do - instill the "right" morals in children. After a few generations, when everybody is thinking "right" and no dissent is "heard," drug use will evaporate just like the enemies of communism and Nazism did, right? Remember when Americans were appalled to learn communists were sending "capitalists" to psychiatric "hospitals" to be cured? Today Americans accept that sending libertarians to receive "corrective thinking" passed off as treatment is what should happen to those who foolishly believe that the state has no business controlling what drugs a free man may use to cure whatever ails him. Thomas Jefferson stated: "If the state were to control our drugs and our diet, then our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now." Better not print that; after all, the children ought be "protected" from the rantings of that "liberal" idiot, because he was from out of state, right? Chris Buors Winnipeg, Manitoba
