County Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley's comments on medical marijuana are insulting. He sounds like a bully, not a servant of the people. The laws are not as clear as he contends - but regardless, a more respectful tone and attitude toward other elected officials would go a long way toward advancing his case. His demeanor and condescending, tough-guy stance are an embarrassment to the people of this county. Eric Cook Redondo Beach - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
