FUTILE

Re: "Up the charges," Letter, Jan. 3.

What an incredibly novel idea! Let's subject illegal drug vendors to 
harsh jail sentences. Oh, wait! The U.S. already does that, resulting 
in part in one of the highest per capita incarceration rates in the 
world. It has certainly solved their illegal drug seller problem. 
Just ask the Mexicans!
