- Hey, absolutely. I know just how you feel. I mean, these people
- tempt poor innocent young souls to mortgage themselves for four or five
- years at a time, and for what? Some shiny plastic-and-chrome Death
- Machine that'll join the already fuming swarms of shiny plastic-and-chrome
- Death Machines that jam our cities with masses of steel and polyurethane and
- Naugahyde and phony wood trim. And anyone who's ever seen firsthand how
- an automobile wreck can physically cripple someone wouldn't argue for a
- 10 year sentence for a dealer. Especially a *Ford* dealer.
-
- And don't even get me started on those worms who sell tobacco, or
- alcohol, or guns, or newspapers - you ever see how those things'll clog
- up a landfill? - or greasy high-cholesterol snack foods. Tolerance, hell.
- Not on *my* watch. Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out.

- Do you really take such issue with people's rights to do
- what they please? I've held dear friends screaming and crying through
- the worst imaginable trips. I've seen people go up and never come down,
- and people go down and never come up. I've also seen pure otherworldy
- transcendence. And I **STILL** support the right for people to use these
- tools as they see fit, and state uncategorically that it is the dis-
- information and misinformation and just plain lack of information that allows
- these very powerful tools to cause as much harm as they admittedly do.
-
- I think it's sublimely evil perversity that allows a handful of
- rich bankers to bankrupt our Nation but destroys the life of a young man
- for a half-dozen blotters.
