CHOIR OF DOPERS

Dear Editor,

The drug legalization lobbyists can say whatever they want.

They can point to THEIR OWN WEB SITE as a definitive source if they
choose. They can cite statistics until the cows come home.

Their arguments may well take root in California and Washington,
D.C., but they are unlikely to have much effect in Southwest
Nebraska. We just don't have the choir of dopers they're used to preaching to.

Just like Mr. Sharpe, these latest two make their living at this sort
of thing. What amazes me is that they would even bother with writing
to a newspaper as small as this one. Have any of them ever BEEN to
McCook? Would they know where it is without consulting Mapquest?

Stick to your urban paradises, gentlemen. Rural Nebraskans aren't
buying your bill of goods, and even if we did, our votes wouldn't get
you where you need to be.

Or are you getting THAT desperate?
