Jeb Bush is having problems with his daughter, Noelle, because of her use of illegal drugs. I would contend this is a family matter and should be of no concern to the general public. However, what does concern the public is that Miss Bush is going to jail for 10 days while thousands of poor and minority young people in Florida are sent to prison for the same offense. Centuries ago, many societies practiced witchcraft and at one time differentiated between two types of witches. One group was considered to be a "willing possessor" of evil spirits, and they were burned at the stake. However, witches who were seized against their will were "unwilling possessors" and treated with more compassion. Could class, status and family power have had anything to do with the different treatments? Bill Barrington New Braunfels - --- MAP posted-by: Doc-Hawk
