WE are rightly concerned about drug-related deaths, crime and violence.
The purveyors of drugs, claim it is not their fault if drugs are misused or overused - they are merely supplying a demand.
Many prominent people espouse recreational drugs as being harmless, but ignore the ruined homes and marriages.
Now, go back to the start of this letter for "drugs" insert "alcohol."
Funny, we feel so angry about drugs but are so conspiratorial about alcohol which kills at a rate of fifty to one compared with drugs - and that is ignoring the alcohol/drug combination deaths.
