REFRESHING READ

Thank you to John Gleeson for writing such a sensible and honest
article (Drug profits and the big picture, Point of View, Feb. 18).
It was so refreshing to read a drug-prohibition news piece backed up
with science, facts and logic instead of quotes from police about
their "beliefs" and (questionable) statistics.

When discussing public health and safety issues, it's absolutely
essential to be unbiased, unemotional and factual -- especially by
referring to reputable and independent studies, such as the Fraser
Institute report, which Gleeson mentioned.

This is the kind of newspaper article we should see more often. Kudos
to the Winnipeg Sun for running this important information.
