INSTEAD OF TV ADS, FUND DRUG TREATMENT

Bill O'Reilly's diatribe applauding the Super Bowl ads against drug use
shows a complete lack of common sense. If the government can turn a
teenager who smokes pot into a terrorist supporter, then every single
American is guilty of the same since Osama bin Laden is a Saudi national
and we buy much of our oil from that region.

No, sir, the problem is with a drug policy that turns a medical and social
problem into a criminal one and provides criminals and terrorists with
enormous profits from products that would be worthless otherwise. There is
no telling how many kids could have been saved from drug addiction if that
$4 million had been spent on drug treatment instead of propaganda and
guilt-trip advertising.
