Out of touch

Senator Greg Hinkle (R) of SD-7 is obviously completely out of touch with the dire consequences of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disasters on going in Japan. His remarks comparing the impact of medical marijuana in Montana to the effects of the tsunami clearly show the Senator lacks judgment, is not sensitive to human suffering on a massive scale, is oblivious to the terrible tragedy in Japan and has no place in public office.

I have visited the Peace Park in Hiroshima-ground zero of the first atomic bomb, and have friends who died at Chernobyl. Mr. Hinkle I deplore your lack of knowledge, sensitivity and compassion.
