Foolish drug war

» Re: "Weed use a 'medical minefield'", (BP, Aug 8). If countries like Canada and the US are not intimidated by threats from the wrong-headed International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) that is stuck in the hysteria-driven mistakes of the ignorant past and vicious drug war heyday, why should Thailand be terrified of its threats to punish good citizens who need other medicines? The whole idea of punishing another group for the perceived crimes of others is morally indefensible, however popular it might be in the sanctions imposed by US presidents intent on forcing others to bow to their populist will.

Judicial 'puzzlement'
News, Postbag, Published on 10/05/2019
» "It's a puzzlement…" as Yul Brynner said in the musical production of The King and I. The appeal court increased the prison term for the killer Benz driver, but justice has not run its course in a similar case, involving a rich company owner's Benz that slammed into a little compact car, killing the driver who was a policeman and his wife, and seriously injuring their daughter. Indeed, it is not a "puzzlement" at all.
Melodramatic rants
News, Postbag, Published on 08/05/2019
» Vint Chavala makes one of his customary melodramatic rants in "Poisonous billionaires", (PostBag, May 4), this time against "many billionaires", one presumably being Mr Thanathorn. However, he does not name any others apart from Thaksin Shinawatra, nor does he give us the faintest clue why Mr Thanathorn personally should be regarded as "poisonous".
