CHARTER PROTECTS US
Re: Alan Shanoff's July 26 column. Drug laws are the ultimate affront
to the Charter of Rights. The fact that governments seem to think
they can decide what we can and cannot do with our own bodies is an
affront to freedom. If we start bending the rules for some because
certain cops and judges don't approve of the rights that we all have,
then we might as well throw the charter away. That charter is the
only thing protecting us from becoming a totalitarian prison state.
