Gray, I must disagree with his Nov. 30 Orange Grove promoting the legalization of drugs ["Follow the money"]. What is sad is that he is using the tragic events of Sept. 11 to promote his misguided ideas. The root cause of the drug problem can be traced to a failure of the family unit. We need to place a stronger focus on early education of our children on the long-term effects of drug use. Suggesting that we make it easier to obtain drugs is unconscionable.
