NAZING-OUT DRUGS IN AMERICA

This letter is in regard to Len's response to Joe Miller's column on Tom 
Campbell.

Len's comments are a prime example of the truism the fascism and ignorance 
are inextricably entwined. He betrays gaping flaws in logic and fundamental 
gaps in knowledge from his first sentence. Perhaps you should hire a fact 
checker before you publish the wild assertions of a rabid, yet 
under-informed, fanatic.

"Drugs" do not, plain and simple, "enter and become part of the cell 
nucleus." Cocaine does not "dissolve portions of the brain" (I'd like to 
point out that cocaine is a Schedule II drug; it is legal for use in the 
USA under limited conditions such as facial surgery, just like morphine and 
amphetamine). His feeble attempt to cite "science magazines back in the mid 
'80s" is laughable; perhaps he could provide an actual specific reference?

He claims that moderate use of alcohol and tobacco are not lethal; on this 
we can agree. So, one is forced to ask, what about moderate use of other 
drugs? Applying his very logic to alcohol, all who sip a glass of wine with 
dinner would instantly be transformed into drooling, comatose, skid-row 
alcoholics.

His assertion that all dealers "know for certain" that they are killing 
their clientele is demonstrably incorrect; it is a simple fact that most 
drug users do not die. Does every bartender "know for certain" that his 
patrons will die in a DUI-caused car wreck? I think most people would laugh 
at such an outlandish claim, and rightly so.

Finally, his proposal to immediately execute drug dealers on conviction 
marks him as a better candidate for banana-republic dictator than American 
citizen. I politely suggest that Len spend some time reading the U.S. 
Constitution, a simple and eloquent document that I am forced to conclude 
he has never laid eyes on. A little basic biology, pharmacology, and basic 
jurisprudence might be good follow-ups.
