WRONG PRIORITIES

TO THE EDITOR: The FBI, attorney general and vice president all tell us
that terrorist attacks are certain to be inflicted on the United States.
Our bodies, our descendants and our good life are threatened. So how do
these august officials plan to protect us? By sending out massive numbers
of police ... to check for seat belts! Of course, the stupid war on drugs
ties up thousands more police personnel here and abroad.

What would you rather see, police patrolling reservoirs, national monuments
and nuclear plants or hunting marijuana plants and stopping cars to make
sure Janey, Johnny and Grandma are safely buckled up? How long will we put
up with and pay for these people endangering our lives?
