Readers' Voices On Illegal Drugs

AMERICAN JUNKIES FEED DRUG EPIDEMIC

The government can shell out billions more to shore up the border
from drug smugglers and it will all be a waste("Cartels outrun,
outgun the law at Ariz border," Republic, Wednesday).

As long as there continues to be a voracious appetite in the U. S.
for drugs, the cartels, seeing huge profits, will let nothing stand
in their way, not even the mighty U. S. government.

Don't bother calling the governor or your senator. There is nothing
they can do until American young people curtail their drug habits or
the United States legalizes drugs and stamps out the profit in the
illicit trade.

Or out of desperation, we could always resort to the Mayaysian
method: simplly kill everyone involved in drugs--users and dealers.
