TROUBLING PRIORITIES

Where are our priorities? A man in Denver gets 12 years for murder! Yet my 
son, who is addicted to drugs (which is an illness, the same as 
alcoholism), they want to put away for life. He has never murdered, raped 
or used a gun in any crime and the laws are such in our state that he could 
be put away for 64 years because of his illness. What is wrong with this 
picture?
