TROUBLING PRIORITIES
Where are our priorities? A man in Denver gets 12 years for murder! Yet my
son, who is addicted to drugs (which is an illness, the same as
alcoholism), they want to put away for life. He has never murdered, raped
or used a gun in any crime and the laws are such in our state that he could
be put away for 64 years because of his illness. What is wrong with this
picture?
