GAS MONEY FUNDS TERROR 

I have noticed a very interesting anti-drug campaign running in the
newspapers and on television: Buying drugs supports terrorism! 

I by no means support the use of drugs and understand that large amounts of
money leave this country every year due to drug trafficking. Yes, it is true
that some of the money finds its way into the hands of terrorists, but
honestly, how much? I see the value in using the terrorist events to
influence young people but I don't see this unrealistic connection. 

What's clearer is that we all finance terrorism when we fill our gas tanks.
