DRUGS, CRIME SQUEEZING THE LIFE OUT OF THE UNITED STATES

Readers Write

If you read the Daviess Circuit Court news in the Messenger-Inquirer
you would see that the same crimes go on and on each week: burglary
and criminal possession of a forged instrument, possession of drug
paraphernalia, possession of controlled substance, possession of
anhydrous ammonia with intent to manufacture methamphetamine and
stolen property, and not to mention DUI, jumping bail, rape charges,
etc.

These crimes are being committed by people 17 to 50 years of age. They
are people who this country is depending on to be productive, to help
keep this country alive. And they are people who blame our president
for their problems, which is wrong and untrue. With this country at
war and our young men putting their lives on the line for our freedom,
you would think that they would want to do something to contribute to
our nation, rather than live the life of drugs and crime.

Drugs, and crimes committed because of drugs, are squeezing the life
out of this country. I think we should have a law that says "Get a Job
or Go to Jail."
