PROHIBITIONIST RESPONSIBILITY

Re: Funeral For Young Hockey Player An Emotional Service, Dec. 2 by John
McDonald.

Just reading of the Ricciuti funeral thousands of miles away is a
heartbreaking experience.

As Jason's grieving parents would like to see a review of the suspension
policy, I would like to see a review of the U.S. prohibition policy. It
seems once again everybody is "just following orders" from above, or below,
in this case. For the political gain of weak politicians this persecution
continues.

If I could apologize for the U.S. policy, I would. But it should most
properly come from John Walters, our drug czar, who was recently in
Vancouver.
