WAR ON DRUGS HAS NO WINNERS NO. 3

I disagree with proposals to provide safe injection sites for drug
addicts.  The police refer to them as shooting galleries.

Why not create a place where all the drug users can be brought to
receive decent food and shelter?  Train them at an occupation and send
them out into society with an ability rather than a social disability.

If one wants to rid our society of a problem, then find ways to
correct the problem, not promote it.
