People stop in the local pub for a few drinks, get drunk, drive home, and have an accident, maybe kill someone, get a DUI, no biggie. Right? How family friendly is that?
Well of course you are right. How stupid of me to think that socially, legally, and morally heroin addicts are exactly the same as a fella having a beer at a bar!
I don't know what got into me.
You do know that alcohol related deaths in this country are greater than ALL illegal drugs combined?
Also the illegal drug deaths do not include traffic fatalities from drunk drivers.
So remind me again how moral it is to drink and how immoral it is to do drugs.
I don't care if booze kills a million per year. That is a separate issue with all it's own set of problems.
What does that have to do with allowing drug addicts to get free (right..."free") needles and doctor assisted shoot-ups in a city park?
And just for argument sake...you think that no real difference exists if a guy grabs a bottle of beer at a family pic-nic...or decides to pull out a needle and shoot-up with heroin? Same thing huh? Morally cool with you then?
Maybe at the Thanksgiving table you can pass around a tray of needles instead of spiked eggnog...same thing.
