CRANE DISRESPECTS COLOMBIA IN COLUMN

Mr. Crane, even though I agree with your views about the legalization
of marijuana, I don't agree with the way that you voiced your opinion.

What I refer to is your comment about "Pro-Colombians with a fetish
for nose candy."

Being from Colombia, I find it very offensive in a way that it
portrays my native land as a drug haven, which sadly is the stereotype
that many Americans have of Colombia.

With your statement, you perpetuate that negative stereotype which is
totally false.

Colombia is not full of drug dealers but of people who are striving to
better their country.
