I must assume he proposes the legalization of drugs. We have a problem with alcoholism today, which is costing the public huge sums of money and lives. Legalized drugs will make that problem look like nothing. Drugs are like fire ants. To eliminate them you must wipe out the nest where ever they are or they will soon take over your property or your nation. If we listen to Heath, we will be spending far more on the victims of legalized drugs than we are today fighting drugs. DONALD DUNLAP, Irondale - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
