SUSPICIOUS OF PAUL

DEAR EDITOR: I always have admired Ron Paul's conservative views on
limited government, sovereignty, and a noninterventionist foreign
policy, but became leery of him when he was nominated as the "If it
feels good, do it" Libertarian Party's presidential candidate in 1988
["Potheads for Paul," Aug. 8]. We have enough vices in our country
and don't need to legalize more of them.

I suppose when you look at potential presidential candidates, you
have to also look at who supports them. With people like "self-made
millionaire" Marc Emery-whose goal in life, it appears, is to get
himself and others high-on Paul's side, "I'll have to take a pass,
man," when you hand me a Ron Paul for President ballot.
