ARE WE BECOMING INURED TO THE TOLL OF DRUG ABUSE?

The horrible death of LaVenia Morrison received little attention in the 
city's other local news outlets ("Grip of drugs seen in woman's death," 
Sept. 15).

But here is something to consider: As we as a society become more and more 
inured to the horrors and the devastation of cocaine, heroin and alcohol, 
we become more prone to accepting drug travails as just another aspect of 
everyday life.
