Every time one person dies of illegal drug abuse, 47 already have died of abusing legal drugs. Parents, the chances are that your kid is not going to die a crackhead or a heroin junky. But your kid might well die a pathetic drunk, smoking cigarettes with several prescription drugs running through his or her bloodstream. Politicians will say or do anything to defend their money supply coming from the legal drug cartels. - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
