LOGIC GOES TO POT

The dopey, so-called prince of pot, Marc Emery, deserves his jail
sentence. Idiotic comparisons of his five-year sentence to lesser
sentences for other major crimes only highlight our own moronic, soft
approach to crime. For those too high to understand it, the shame is
not that Emery received a larger jail sentence than some murderers,
rapists and thieves but that these kinds of crimes are drawing such
meaningless sentences in the first place. In the U.S., Emery would
likely get 15 years for his crime at least, so he should count
himself fortunate he was allowed to serve time in a lax Canadian
jail. Emery wantonly flouted the law and now gets the reward he
richly deserves.
