SAY 'NO' TO DRUG WAR
Letter writer William F. Brna conveniently overlooks the fact that
thousands of people become infected with HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, etc.,
every year because of sharing needles with infected people ("Say 'No"
to needles," March 30).
Many of those who become infected do not use drugs and catch the
disease from an addicted partner.
Withholding clean needles from addicts is a crime against humanity, no
matter what Pennsylvania's paraphernalia laws say.
