SELFISH

Count me among those sickened by the selfishness of Braeside
residents. My twin brother died of an oxycodone overdose in March
2005, and I can only wonder if methadone, in addition to the much less
helpful "counselling" he was getting to overcome his addiction, would
have saved his life. I live in Bankview. I would much rather have a
methadone clinic in my community, with clientele trying to manage
their addictions and improve their lives, than endure the gauntlet of
drug addicts who prowl our streets and alleyways now.
