I've never been addicted to anything but caffeine and computers!
I know there are some good people who have gotten addicted for reasons
that were somehow beyond their control, after an operation, or after having
been prescribed medication for severe pain and getting hooked on it.
But good people don't hang out in needle parks and shoot up, in my opinion,
but then I have known a few people like that who were addicted and managed
to get off it and go straight.
So I don't agree with killing all the heroin addicts. It makes sense to find them
and help them if possible, not kill them. But such a plan is probaby hopelessly
naive and doomed to failure. Addicts will do anything to get their next fix,
steal, even kill, at least the more desperate ones.
Thank God I'm not in that situation and don't know anyone who is currently in
that situation.
Perhaps we should bomb Afghanistan back to the Stone Age.
No, wait, I think we already did that. They are still stoning women to death,
while the drug trafficking goes on unabated. So easy a cave man could do it!
