CARLISLE'S PROPOSED ICE SOLUTION IS SHOCKING
I have been reading with shock and horror about city Prosecutor Peter
Carlisle's proposed "final solution" to the ice epidemic. I agree that it is
a terrible problem, but dehumanizing the people who are suffering from a
recognized disease is unconscionable.
There are many recovering ice addicts who are productive members of society.
Is it easy? No. Does it take time, love, dedication and caring? Yes.
If I remember correctly, the last time government advocated putting the
sick, weak, mentally challenged or whomever they didn't like in "camps" was
World War II Germany, and the man advocating this "final solution" was Adolf
Hitler -- an example I would hope Hawai'i would choose not to emulate.
