The Vancouver Province,newspaper letters editor ran two letters over the recent Supreme court ruling exonerating a local trafficker due to improper police procedure.The first was the typical world's going to hell and the court's leading the charge piece .The second spoke of civil rights trumping police power.That's a first.I have never seen the paper give the reform ticket an even split on the dialogue.I subscribe to the Province because they have the strongest stance in support of the drug war and all it's delightful inconsistencies.It gives me something to work on.It would be strange if they actually began to respond in a positive manner.Of course this has always been a roller coaster ride and I'm sure they'll be back on the abstinence train by morning.It's just nice to see a little evidence every once in a while that minds can be changed if given the right information and they use a little common sense.
