SENSELESS SITE

Please, let's stop this ludicrous idea about allowing a drug 
injection site here. This idea makes absolutely zero sense. These 
people cannot think straight to begin with, by allowing this, we are 
basically saying "Sure! It's OK to use drugs."

This is how they will see it! Let's not waste one thin dime on this 
ludicrous idea, instead, let's build a centre to get them off drugs. 
This sure makes a heck of a lot more sense.

(The one thing everyone agrees with on both sides of this debate is 
that drugs are a scourge. We're just having the very appropriate 
argument now about how best to deal with that scourge.)
