that's not the same at all, first it doesn't effect you personally or your family, it effects you in your working hours, not 24/7/365 for x years, you go home you get away from those people who are on every substance, many addicts and their families live a 24 hour hell.
well I'm sure if it was your own personal tragedy your opinion would change, that I'm certain of.
oh I'm not for the death penalty, but like i said hard labor, and educating kids, what can and will happen to some of them if they start taking drugs, not just the destruction of them but their family to.
I'm not the one ignorant of it, I've lived with a drug addict for 20yrs, I've watch it kill my brother, and indirectly my stepfather and mother and its effected me, that i have to now take prescribed medicines. All i hope its that I'll live long enough to see little Joe reach 18yrs old.
keith when it effects you personally i know you will change your views.
