HERE'S THE PLAN

Editor, Naples Daily News:

Anybody remember the war on drugs?

Is the major fighting over and the folks appearing in the headlines and 
Police Beat just part of the mopping-up process? I don't think so.

With the new and improved Homeland Security Program, it would seem to go 
hand and hand to get a fix on all of the illicit drug traffic coming across 
our borders and into our country. The common-sense solution would be to 
have the government just buy the drugs from the farmers/producers for more 
than the drug dealers are willing to pay them. And then just destroy them 
before they get here.

Think of the savings in human misery, to say nothing of the unnecessary 
costs associated with the necessary police and court procedures, insurance 
claims, etc.

Seems too simple to work!
