DRUG DEALING

Re "Unlikely Freedom From Fear," Jan. 27:

Hurray for the bad guys and technology. They really cleaned up the streets.

Now let's legalize drugs. That will take the profit out of them. We can
then spend all the money released on fixing our education system or other
things that deal with the sources of the problem.
