Two of Thursday's writers believe that eliminating the laws they don't like will create harmony in our world. If we just warned parking violators, how long would it be before you could not park downtown? If your front license plate has been off your vehicle for seven years, it should not count any longer. If we legalized marijuana, how long would it be before our dependence on chemicals reached 100 percent? In my 33 years in law enforcement I have never met or arrested a dope addict who did not start out his habit with the gateway drug marijuana. So, let's legalize it! Now we all got it off our chest. Thanks. John Bullerjahn, Chico - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
