INTERESTING AND PROVOCATIVE

(Re: "The 4/20 experiment - and a proposed control," Danish Plan,
April 23.) I want to thank you for publishing Paul Danish's editorial
in the April 23-29 issue. As far as I'm concerned, he's the best
editorial writer you have. Whether I agree with him, or not, he is
always interesting and provocative. I particularly enjoy it when he
pisses off everyone, from the far right to the far left. However, in
this instance, I am just very grateful for his stand on legalization
of marijuana. How can our elected officials look themselves in the
mirror? How much longer can they continue to insist the emperor is
wearing clothes? The continued obstinacy on this subject by our
representatives leads any aware individual to conclude that they must
in fact be representing the criminal element that profits from
prohibition and not the honest people who have elected them.
