DON'T PUNISH SICK, POOR

Re: 'Docs needled over safe injection site,' Aug. 19.

Fishing for votes while standing on the backs of sick and poor people
is absolutely monstrous. I think that punishment-happy prohibitionist
types like Tony Clement and his cronies are the truly harmful people
in our community -- the people that are keeping this country from
moving forward with a sensible and affordable drug policy. Maybe it is
time that the rest of us started locking up people like Clement for
our safety.
