STOP DRUGS OR DIE

"You can't help dead people - that's the point of injection
sites"

There you go again, being a "bleeding heart." A recent letter writer
is correct. Injection sites are encouraging and abetting druggies in
their bad habits. There is no point to safe-injection sites.

And if they die, as they surely will if they don't kick their habit,
why should I give a hoot?

They chose to live on the edge as they do. Suffer the consequences!
They know better, and yet refuse to accept the inevitable. Stop or
die!

And you should stop trying to be the social conscience of your
readers.

(Look, we're not fond of illegal drug use. But caring about what
happens to our fellow citizens - especially the weakest - is important
in a civilized society.)
