GLORIFYING DRUGS
For three days I have seen the article written about the drug society in
Juneau. My question to you is will there be three days of articles with
photos showing what happens when people are arrested for dealing drugs?
What happens to their lives (and those of their parents, siblings, spouses,
children, friends) when career opportunities are ruined by drugs? How they
really look when they have become addicted to any of the drugs? (Believe me
they do not look "cool" or "cute.") Maybe you can show a front page photo
of before and after addiction.
Can you research how many of our individual tax dollars go to programs
designed to help these kids whose photos you are showing on the front page
when they become hopelessly addicted to drugs? Do you think you can get
some of the addicted, sad, ruined, drug-addicted people to pose for your
front page? I am highly offended that you have glorified the drug culture
anywhere - and most especially in Juneau.
