RECREATIONAL DRUG USE!

The innocuous statement to excuse the use of drugs and the problems some of
our local residents are having with the local crackdown on users has some
upset.

There are troops in Afghanistan and Iraq trying to resolve a problem that
hit us directly by the Twin Towers attack where more people were killed
than at Pearl Harbor. If anyone from the U.S. had been caught giving aid to
the Nazis in World War II they would have been held as traitors.

We have all sorts of proof that drugs come from the Afghanistan area. There
is also insurmountable proof that the Taliban funds the cocaine trade of
South America.

When we use the excuse of using recreational drugs we are putting a price
on our soldiers and their lives. One snort for recreation is equal to,
let's say, just one limb lost - which one? - a leg or an arm. Ask the coach
or the attorney busted which they would prefer to destroy on a soldier.
Every time a recreational drug user spends money they are investing in the
terrorist threat against this country.

Recreational drug users. I prefer to call them terrorists.
