Board Bookmark: http://www.mapinc.org/rehab.htm (Treatment) DON'T HELP ADDICTS, ALCOHOLICS When a knucklehead starts smoking or drinking he or she does not consider who may have to pay. Drug users, too, end up destitute and "dried out" at public expense. Humanity can discern no benefit from the unprescribed use of any of these products - nor does it deserve to be stolen from by these addicts when they become dependents. I think society should stop providing for these social lepers by yielding to their determination to go to hell. Let the devil provide for them. Drunken driving exemplifies their disdain for all those who must share the highway with them. DONALD M. BOARD, Altoona - --- MAP posted-by: Jackl
