MARIJUANA ARGUMENT FOUL

Your editorial on the use and approval of medical marijuana was the most
facile, excrementitious argument I've ever seen in my life.

In the first place, your claim that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals
supports this idea is meaningless. With small exception, that appellate
court is so left leaning they would just as soon repeal the Constitution and
replace it with the Communist Manifesto.

Secondly, your plea on behalf of the California voter is about as
hypocritical as your first is silly. Where were you in the fight for the
voters rights on Props 187 and 209? Hmmm? I'll tell you where. Right there
with the 9th Circuit again. So please don't stick up for MY wishes, I'll
fight my own battles.

Lastly, you people applauded the cessation of smoking in public when the ban
was put in place and have since written an editorial on this very page
castigating smokers for their litter.

I don't even care about the use of medical marijuana one way or the other.

However, your editorials would be much more credible if you employed a
little integrity.
