Butler DRUG SOLUTIONS, PLEASE In response to the op-ed column by Judges Bryan Levy and Brian Mackenzie ("Beware lenient drug plan: Proposal would create addicts, not treat them"): Critique of a plan is easy to do, and I won't argue with their analysis. What I would rather do is get their thinking on how to better address the ever-growing and more insidious invasion of our society by illegal drugs. Our anti-drug program involving billions of taxpayer dollars has become a dismal failure, and our society's effort is the object of worldwide ridicule. Maybe we would be better served if the judges would generate some better ideas than the "California Richies." Wouldn't that be interesting? William C. Butler Mt. Clemens - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
