Harvesting Drug Runners

I'm 98, but I can still come up with new ideas. We should make the
importing or the sale of drugs a capital crime. Double the law enforcers,
and hang the guilty within six months. Then copy the Chinese and sell the
body parts.

I guarantee that the traffic in drugs would stop with a loud bang. We
should be able to pay off a large part of the national debt with the money
paid for the parts by those who need them desperately.

Drug War Casualties

Re " 'Sting' by state put drugs on the street," March 8: For the state
Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement to put 66 pounds of methamphetamine, or
"crank," on the streets, and then not be able to retrieve it is sick.

Crank is one of the most addictive and dangerous drugs on the street. When
that crank hit the streets, how many folks -- kids, teen and adults --
ended up in hospital emergency rooms? The bureau needs to revise its
entrapment tactics and eliminate putting drugs on the street.
