WHY PEOPLE REALLY FIGHT DRUG LEGALIZATION

Editor, the Record:

Recently I suggested that one way to make America safer would be to
legalize illegal drugs. The reaction was interesting. No, I was not
called a "druggie." The major concern seams to be that it would cause
major unemployment among law enforcement people, drug pushers and
jail construction workers. The next concern is the loss of
"photo-ops" for politicians when drug busts occur; so much for being
politically incorrect.

A second way to make America safer would be to withdraw our one-sided
support for Israel. Maybe then, less people in the Islamic community
would hate us.
