Alex Buckner killed his mother, father and two sisters and then set the house on fire. Responding police had to shoot and kill Alex. What could be more violent? Furthermore, there is a TV program called "The First 48" which televises real-life homicide events around the country. A large portion if not the majority of homicides involves drugs. So ask yourself, would the world be a better place if there was no marijuana, crack cocaine or heroin? Q.E.D. - - Sammy Bell Glendale - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
