DRUGS: POOR FELLOW DESERVES PITY

Dear Editor

If the only way your correspondent [Lots of reasons for drugs, Feb. 4
Letters to the Editor, Langley Advance News] can achieve "good health
- - a positive state of well being (happiness, even joy)," if the only
way he can discover "new ideas" or exercise his "power of imagination"
is through drugs, it is no wonder he can't handle the real world that
he defines as an "economic system that profits from both creating and
treating sickness, a sickness care system disguised as a health care
system, and a political system that denies its citizens the right to
pursue happiness."

I guess the poor fellow would prefer to sit in an alley somewhere,
nursing his wounds like a spoiled child who can't get his own way,
rather than work within the system to create a better one.

What a pity!
