WALTERS DOES NOT SPEAK FOR THE MAJORITY

IF YOUR next-door neighbour got upset every time you mowed your lawn,
would you stop mowing your lawn? I don't think so. You would just
ignore him and write him off as a crackpot or an eccentric. If he
became really irate and started to cause a fuss about your lawn mowing
you might suggest he get help for anger management or seek other
professional mental health services. Canada should apply this same
logic to John Walters and other American prohibitionists when they
squawk about Canada relaxing its cannabis laws. Walters' days in
office are numbered as the U.S. drug czar and he does not speak for
the majority of the American populace.
