HERE'S THE PLAN

Editor, Naples Daily News:

Anybody remember the war on drugs?

Is the major fighting over and the folks appearing in the headlines and
Police Beat just part of the mopping-up process? I don't think so.

With the new and improved Homeland Security Program, it would seem to go
hand and hand to get a fix on all of the illicit drug traffic coming across
our borders and into our country. The common-sense solution would be to
have the government just buy the drugs from the farmers/producers for more
than the drug dealers are willing to pay them. And then just destroy them
before they get here.

Think of the savings in human misery, to say nothing of the unnecessary
costs associated with the necessary police and court procedures, insurance
claims, etc.

Seems too simple to work!
