HYPOCRITICAL AND GALLING

Thank you, Mr. Parrish! I agree that the sudden turnaround of former drug
war hawks [Geov Parrish, "A diversionary tactic," 3/1] is hypocritical and
galling. I also think that many of them need to be held accountable for
their previous actions, in the same way that other war crime perpetrators
have had to answer for their crimes against humanity. But right now I'm
just happy that the American sheeple are finally waking up to what has been
a decades-long assault on the Constitution, minority families, and
individuals whose only "crime" was using substances that were unacceptable
to puritanistic moralists like William Bennet. The winds of common sense
are finally blowing. Breathe deeply!
