BIASED JOURNALISM

Hey dude, maybe you should cut back on whatever it is you take. In your 
little spiel "Pipe dream" (Editorial, Sept. 5), I was left wondering a few 
things. Mostly, how is it possible that you consider yourself an unbiased 
journalist?

First, if you believe that something of "potential" harm should be 
outlawed, would that make you a proponent for the criminalization once 
again of alcohol? How about throwing tobacco producers and users into 
prison? If two wrongs don't make a right, why then do you not write about 
outlawing these proven killers?

Then there's your remark about chronic users being lethargic and truant. 
Me, I'm a chronic user and I'll bet any amount of money that I could work 
circles around you. I can probably out-type you as well, oh desktop warrior 
that you are.
