JUST SAY YES

Re: "Let's send drug addicts to isolated work camps," Brian Purdy, Opinion, Sept. 8.

Drugs are not the problem. Prohibition and prohibitionists
are.

What a disgusting and ill-informed screed from a man who is clearly
trying to publicly endear himself to the punishment-fetishists who
voted for this current government.

It is true, though: We should be rounding up "stray animal" types into
cages.

Prohibitionists are like diseased, rabid animals eating away at
society, causing death and misery and high costs because they approve
of one drug but not another. They refuse to look at facts, science,
history or reason.
