Walker MAIL TRIBUNE NEEDS TO EXHALE Lately when I see the Mail Tribune rolled up at my door it seems that the main story is always about marijuana. Maybe your news team thinks that the public is as lit up about this cause as they seem to be ... I don't know. I'm sure you get a of lot brownie points from some readers who readily pass these articles around their circle of friends. Yes, this is voting season and we'll have to wait for the smoke to clear in November before the growth of this ongoing story can be allowed to burn out. All I'm saying is that there are other stories in the pipeline ... time for a fresh batch. The debate about medical uses for the substance is valid but most people seem to in possession of far less than an ounce of worthwhile facts. These people need to put a lid on it. The Southern Oregon region needs a paper that is about more than just one issue. The Mail Tribune needs to stop all of the of the zigging and start zagging for a change. James N.
