U.S. DRUG ABUSERS ENABLE DRUG CARTEL

Here are my thoughts on why we have a problem with drug cartels in
Mexico. I was listening to the president's press conference the other
night and he talked about the problem of drugs in Mexico and their
violence spreading to the Border States. He did not talk about the
fact that this would not be a problem if the people in the USA did
not purchase, distribute and use.

The president should use his so-called capital he gained from the
election to tell the American people to stop using and get an
education. I do not know what percentage of which ethnic group are
the worst offenders, because they are all Americans as far as I am
concerned, and to continue this behavior is one of the factors that
is destroying this country.

I do not know how people can call themselves Americans and claim to
be patriotic and participate in the destruction of the fabric of this
country. In fact, this should be the cry by all our leaders, even in
the city of Albany. Gangs are gangs, wherever they are.
