To the Editor:

Same old story, 400 million on drug prevention didn't work so lets spend
600 million. I wish that my children could go to drug free schools, but
this isn't working. Drugs are in our society, always have been and always
will be, the problem is that they are currently controlled by drug dealers
who are not concerned with the health and safety of our children, but with
making money. If drugs are legal then they are regulated, same as alcohol,
same as morphine. These controlled substances are not big problems in our
schools, marijuana and crack are. In the words of Bill Clinton "Insanity
is doing the same old thing over and over again and expecting a different
result." Its time to get serious and look at what we have to do to protect
our children as well as society.
