OPINION COLUMN CRITICIZED

Editor:

I'll admit that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion - and that
includes Dale Bass.

But I do have to say that I am growing increasingly frustrated with her
lengthy mouthfuls, including her column on same-sex marriage and now with
her March 9 article It's not about drugs.

Statistics show that more than half of all hardcore long-term marijuana
users develop some kind of mental illness or clinical psychosis. So
actually, it is about the drugs.

If her stories were factual I could appreciate that, but why let her rant
on issues that she knows very little about?

I'm not saying gag her, I'm just saying cut her to five words or fewer.
Well, on second thought, cut her out altogether.

Give us point-making, factual editorials - but don't cram ignorance down
our throats and think you're conducting good journalism.
