Coming Friday in Voice of the People: I was shocked to see the vicious attack on Alachua County Commissioner Robert Hutchinson (letter, July 17). Hutchinson is one of my favorite people for all he has done for conservation causes here in Gainesville. What he did was compare how a change such as ending a war or legalizing marijuana can affect lives. End a war five days earlier and the last soldier may not have died, or legalize marijuana five days earlier and the last victim may have stayed out of prison. This is a comparison of the effects of change. Nowhere does Hutchinson compare dying in service to being arrested for marijuana. To call him asinine, callous, disrespectful and sophomoric shows a real dislike of the man. Georgia Rolfe, Gainesville
