TOMMY CHONG

Dear Editor,

The U.S. Government must be pleased with themselves, bringing down a man
that has spent most of his life making us laugh.

Tommy Chong, one half of the Cheech & Chong comedy troupe that practically
invented marijuana comedy back in the 70's, was arrested for selling bongs,
smoking paraphernalia. For this our U.S. Government has incarcerated a
non-violent person for nine months.

Does anyone believe that this will stop the sales, production of such
products or stop the use of marijuana?

All they have accomplished is a little less laughter for the next nine
months in the U.S., but it will not be long before the U.S. Government sees
who has the last laugh.

How much longer are the tax payers going to put up with such nonsense?
