(probably too quick on the draw here, but.....)

Drug users aren't executed.

(usually)

Other than that, I don't see many (any?) differences. Good point, Tim. Say, how's the afterlife been treatin' you?

Oh there might just be a coupla differences in legal procedure. Mr Leary, would you rather be in the drug distribution business in the US or in China?

Tim,

Glad to see death hasn't improved your addled brain any.

In China, you're executed if you sell drugs. Here, you're usually given a few years in prison. Seems to be a pretty big difference.

Actually Jim, while you're right, that wasn't the question. Tim asked (through a haze, no doubt) about the difference between the Chinese persecution of the Falun Gong (not drug dealers) and the US war on drug users.

Patricia,

That is a purple haze, right?

Yep (last I knew, anyway).

Actually found a rather interesting site on Leary here. I had forgotten about that "shooting some of his ashes into space" deal. Wonder when they came back and burned up in the atmosphere? (See the FAQ for funereal details.)

Well, I thought it was kinda interesting, anyway (but I do tend towards the warped -- certainly explains alot of things [g]).
