An open letter to Jim Anderton Submitted by Lance on Tue, 2007-08-21 08:00.
Dear sir, You sir are a champion of 'The People', and your ongoing crusade to fight to protect the fine citizens of the Socialist People's Republic of Clarkistan from themselves has not gone unnoticed and when it comes time to vote; I hope that this will be reflected. Warmest regards,

In 1911, kola became the focus of one of the earliest documented health scares when the US government seized 40 barrels and 20 kegs of Coca-Cola syrup in Chattanooga, Tennessee, alleging that the caffeine in its drink was "injurious to health".
On March 13, 1911, the government initiated The United States v. Forty Barrels and Twenty Kegs of Coca-Cola, hoping to force Coca-Cola to remove caffeine from its formula by making claims, such as that the excessive use of Coca-Cola at one girls' school led to "wild nocturnal freaks, violations of college rules and female proprieties, and even immoralities."
Yes, I did wonder if I was
Yes, I did wonder if I was perhaps being a little insensitive to Mr Anderton, but like my dear old gran used to say
"Fuck em if they can't take a joke!"
Anderton
seems to be acting in response to the problems his son had a few years back.
"No parent should have to go through what I went through..."
blah, blah, blah...and I can understand that, despite its underlying naivety.
One reason I favour the complete legalisation of drugs is because those which are available, such as "P", are the drugs equivalent of "Bathtub Gin"...complete rubbish, in other words.
Whereas taking cocaine or heroin would mean consuming drugs of a much higher quality.
Anderton's policy simply adds to a Black Market for drugs.
Comrade Jameson I feel your
Comrade Jameson I feel your pain, I only hope my message gets through to Jim soon, otherwise 'The People' might go overboard and start gathering in "1,3,7-trimethylxanthine houses" where they sit around taking dose after dose. I'm hoping to commission a report into how much this is costing the country's economy in terms of health care and lost productivity. Our brother workers, so downtrodden under their evil capitalist overlords, are even taking 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine during their work day.
I had a double shot
of 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine this morning and I'm all wired and jumpy... please, will someone help me break my addiction...?

Edit: and bugger this open letter nonsense, I sent Jim a copy as well
2nd Edit: NZ soloists should keep an eye out for the flier in question, appearing in a mailbox near you soon, you can't miss the dramatic typeset and lovely red motif.
