A FRIGHTENING GOVERNMENT

On Sunday you ran an article describing the takeover of the National
Rifle Association by "extremists" who are using "fear mongering" to
block so-called reasonable government attempts at gun control. Right
next to that article was a Robyn Blumner column illustrating just how
a government run amok led to the death of Peter McWilliams by denying
him the only medicine that helped: legalized marijuana. The fact that
it had been legalized seemed to be of no interest to federal agents
bent on stamping out any legitimate use.

Is it any wonder that the NRA is so successful with its "fear the
government" campaign? Peter McWilliams, Ruby Ridge, David Koresh, etc.
Don't you think that maybe the centralized federal government is
getting a little too big and powerful? Is it, perhaps, time to step
back and take a look at decentralization and an overall reduction of
government interference in our lives?
