She says that addiction is an illness and not a moral judgment. Who is she trying to fool? Of course it's a moral issue. You have to have respect for yourself not to take drugs. Poeple who take drugs have no respect for themselves. Of course it's a moral thing. [Perhaps] she's trying to divert attention because she has a member or members of her family who are into drugs. This is typical of irresponsible people. They want the community to clean up what their own lazy asses start. This is where our money goes, listening to these deadheads. And then she tries to compliment the community by saying that they are wonderful and knowledgeable to further candycoat her argument and get what she wants. This is how socialism starts. I was in jail and this fellow down at the end was complaining that he needed a program to get off drugs. You know what the guard told him? You're getting that now, shut up. Rene D.
