The old saying, "Me thinks he doth protest too much" comes to mind. It is evident that Godwin has a real issue with law enforcement. He finds it necessary to wave his flag for the drug dealers and those who break the law. We personally would rather wave our flag for the men and women in law enforcement who lay their lives on the line every day to look after our rights. When people buy and sell drugs, abuse other people's rights, lie, steal and who knows what else, they don't deserve rights. They still have them, they just don't deserve them. Enough is enough! What about our rights? Do we have the right to know that our kid's teacher isn't high on cocaine? Do we have the right to know that the guy driving toward us isn't high on drugs? As for Godwin's statement that he would rather have the cocaine users any day, we're sure there's an extra cell where they're going. - - Carl Barker, Diane Barker, Pensacola - --- MAP posted-by: Josh
