THANKS, FOLKS

I just wanted to thank the Daily News for correctly reporting the tragic 
deaths of a young mother and her child stemming from a traffic accident on 
Jan. 1. Thanks to the bleeding hearts of California voters and the passing 
of Proposition 36 (rehab, not jail for drug offenders), a parolee got to 
drive (unlicensed, of course) under the influence of methamphetamine and 
kill innocent people.

The parolee was involved in a rehab program graciously given to him by the 
voters instead of given punishment in jail. Maybe what we should do is have 
all those who voted yes for Proposition 36 pay for all the expenses 
involved in these senseless deaths. Who knows how many other deaths have 
been caused or will be caused by these drug offenders involved in county 
drug rehab programs?
