DRUGS ARE A BIG THREAT

The drug problem is like an iceberg; you see the part above water. But all 
too often is what you don't see and ignore that does the damage. 
Prescription drugs, painkillers and mood-altering pharmaceuticals 
contribute to and fuel the illegal substance market.

Overlooked, undiscussed and ignored with easy access and multiple 
prescriptions, the comatose masses are easily pacified, controlled and 
manipulated. Power and might make right. There are too many drug dealers 
operating for too long in common knowledge because of political and/or law 
enforcement connections. Too many dealers masquerade as informants to avert 
punishment and continue their illegal cottage industry.

It's not about free enterprise and trying to make it when it is done with 
the cooperation of politics and in the shelter of assistance from a member 
of our law enforcement.

They prey upon our children, the young and immature, offer presentation of 
the solutions needed by people with insurmountable circumstances.

These dealers are scavengers and buzzards in wolf's clothing.
