STILTED VIEWPOINT

It doesn't surprise me that your negative editorial position (Hits and
Misses, Nov. 16) regarding Jack Layton's endorsement of legal marijuana
reflects a nauseating, asinine twiddling, so common to the politically
bamboozled mindset of social conservatism.

Layton's Pot-TV interview was anything but a miss. The NDP will receive
many votes in the next election as a result of honestly representing this
important issue of reforming Canada's outdated and immoral marijuana laws,
a.k.a. prohibition.

It's your stilted viewpoint that gets a brickbat for fulminating over Jack
Layton's savvy political courage. And that's not even to mention the lame
puns you torture your readers with. Have you no shame?
