MORALITY CANNOT BE LEGISLATED
There will be a terrible social justice price to pay for the hypocrisy Jean
Chretien is planning to saddle Canadians with through a change in the drug
laws. Morality cannot be legislated and attempts to do so simply breed
disrespect for the law and the government since day one. The Senate
committee of Pierre Claude Nolin specifically warned about the dangers of
decriminalization rather than legalization of cannabis. Too bad the press
and Canadians did not read or study those recommendations
Chris Buors
(Canadians aren't ready for legalization.)
