SHEEN'S WRONG ON DRUG INITIATIVE
Martin Sheen has Proposition 5 all wrong ("A costly, dangerous drug
treatment initiative," Viewpoints, Sept. 5). It will not, as Sheen
insinuates, legalize auto theft, identity theft or any crimes
involving victims. It will help keep drug "offenders" out of jail by
fixing an overly punitive parole system. Neither Sheen's celebrity nor
his hyperbole will be able to thwart this sensible initiative.
