THE REAL THING

Thank you for having the courage to expose the drug war as primarily
an excuse to imprison young black men. I look forward to subscribing
to your magazine as soon as I can scrape the money together. When
people celebrate a Connecticut Yankee as a true Texan, it's good to
see the real thing in action.

Your Afterword about Juneteenth and the killings in Mexia in the June
22 issue is another great piece. Keep it up. Even a libertarian like
me enjoys your "rag." Of course, I see this as another example of the
Drug War's failure, but I'm a one-issue kinds guy.
