CITY DRUG PROBLEM: JUST SAY NO VERSUS JUST SAY GO

Re: "Crack getting bigger," by Amy Steele, News, August 10-16, 2006.

I have an opinion about attitudes toward the homeless in the city with
addictions. I do not believe that an addiction to crack or alcohol or
any other illegal substance is a disease. I believe that the disease
is actually stupidity. There is plenty of information around this city
telling people that drugs and alcohol can and will ruin your life, and
are addictive, yet these people make the CHOICE to "try it" the first
time.

I do not feel sympathy for these people who have made the CHOICE to
start using drugs, yet I do support the agencies in this city that are
trying to help those who have realized their mistake and want to
correct their lives. I applaud those people who have decided to
rebuild their lives and do not mind my tax dollars supporting their
rehabilitation.
