Re: "Treason," Letter, Jan. 14.

Letter writer Dave W. Reesor ought to at least point to somewhere on
Earth where the harsh penalties he advocates for crimes against the
state worked before Canadians give any serious consideration to his
police-state paradise notions.

The fact is drug prohibition supporters are responsible for the
adulterated drugs presently killing our children.

All this is eerily similar to the adulterated alcohol that caused
death and blinding in the '30s. Prohibitionists seem to be callous
people who would sooner send moral messages with the law to save souls
than to repeal drug prohibition and save lives. In a free country,
there should be no such thing as a crime against the state.
