Letter to the Editor
• The Emperor
Has No Clothes
Men
stumble
over the
truth from
time to
time, but
most pick
themselves
up and
hurry off as
if nothing
happened.
-Sir
Winston
Churchill
If something is wrong, then it's
wrong today, tomorrow and forever.
No one can ever change the fact that
on that day, at that time, it was wrong.
If something is right, you can say
it with confidence whenever and
wherever you care to do so.
Something is wrong. During our
Environmental Week that ran May 19
through May 23, 1997, one of the
booths was doing a land-office busi
ness selling hemp jewelry, wallets with
embroidered pot leaves, and bumper
stickers advocating the use of mari
juana. The banner on the front of the
table stated "Sponsored by HEEL."
The proprietor claimed the bag of pot
seeds on display was legal because
they had been irradiated.
This was allowed to occur with the
full faith and endorsement of the col
lege administration, the Associated
Student Government, campus secu
rity, (and HEEL, according to the
pusher).
For the record, there is not odfe irra
diation facility in the Northwest will-’
ing to irradiate anyone's marijuana, at
any^pfice. I checked.
Marijuana use is illegal everywhere,
all the timet How could this occur at a
publicly funded community college?
This man was advocating using mari
juana, and he's doing it in front of (for
give me) young, impressionable
people.
To my friends and fellow students
of Clackamas Community College:
Shame on you! Where were you? Why
didn't anyone do anything sooner? I
refuse to believe that I am the most
astute person (student or faculty) at
this college. For everyone who saw
this booth and formed the idea that
marijuana use is no big deal, I say,
"The emperor has no clothes."
