STOP THE MADNESS

Thanks for publishing the honest column by Robert Nelson.  The war on drugs isn't about justice or protecting our children.  We've spent 30 years under that pretense and what have been the results?

Our senators and representatives have conveniently exempted themselves from drug testing while Drug Czar John Walters tours the country pressuring school boards to implement drug testing for our children.

The hypocrisy of this is so thick it stinks.  Current and past presidents have used some of the very substances that have sent others straight to prison.  What message are we really sending our kids?

Our "leaders" need to find the courage to end this insanity before another generation is forced to endure the hypocritical prosecution of American citizens.

If our "leaders" can't find that courage, then they need to be voted out to make room for those who have the conviction to do real justice and end this domestic policy disaster.

Scott Russ,

Baton Rouge, Louisiana
