INJECTION SITE SUPPORTERS HAVE THEIR OWN INTERESTS AT HEART

Re: Injection site not luring new users, study finds, Aug. 15

Here is a brief list of the people who support safe injection sites 
and heroin "treatment" programs (an oxymoron with the credibility of 
"military intelligence" or "happy marriage"):

Junkies, who want more free everything;

Social service organizations, whose million-dollar grants, personal 
salaries, power and purpose are dependent on such madness;

Academics and eggheads, who wouldn't know an addict or a moral or 
compassion if they tripped over a barrel of addicts, morals or compassion;

Mayors, senators and ex-mayors who are always all about Me, except 
when they are about More of Me.

All other real citizens of real communities have a natural and 
legitimate abhorrence for these retrogressive public policies. Not 
that anybody asked .
