"Sentenced" to Write an Anti-Marijuana Essay
The judge in this case forced a pot dealer to write an essay about the dangers of marijuana. I can't say that this is worse than sending someone to prison, but it's definitely bad in a whole different way. This is a kind of Orwellian Thought Police type tactic. The judge, who is in a position of power, is compelling someone to think a certain way -or face dire consequences (go to jail, presumably).
Regardless of what you think about pot, this is a creepy type of precedent. I don't think judges should have this kind of leeway when it comes to imposing sentences. This happens to have occurred in the UK, but I've heard cases of judges in the U.S. getting "creative" with their demands.
Anytime you combine force with thought, you are on the brink of totalitarianism. Or did I just read too much Ayn Rand when I was younger? (not that I see her having much sympathy for pot smokers).
Note: the following link is actually right (at least the last time I checked) even though the story title is wrong.

Life: Nature's way of keeping meat fresh
Getting old ain't for sissy's
As you are I was, as I am you will be
You can't fix stupid, but you can always out smart it.

What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?
