PUT SOME HEAT ON THE PUSHERS

Dealers of Death Should Get Their Share of the Agony Surrounding 
'Ecstasy' Tragedies

With an epidemic of drug deaths and overdoses raging, it's hard to 
comprehend how even the most gullible young people could risk their 
lives by ingesting these garbage drugs.

As John Kay of the 1960s rock band Steppenwolf sang: "I've seen a lot 
of people walkin' round with tombstones in their eyes, but the pusher 
don't care ...if you live or if you die."

Four decades later, not much has changed.

While we can't fathom the mental processes of those who invite their 
own premature death, we've got a good grasp of what motivates the 
scum peddling this garbage. Pure greed. There's no way these 
so-called "ecstasy" pushers are unaware of the gruesome fate awaiting 
some of their victims.

Extreme internal temperatures cook them from the inside, causing 
seizures, organ failure and eventually death or disability.

Yet these dealers of death continue to ply their trade
