Thank you both for a wonderful dialog. You assumed the best in each other, and you took for granted each other cared for your community.
Selling of drugs is the obvious cancer eating your neighborhood. I wish everyone who reads this list would appreciate that it is the SELLING of drugs and not the using of drugs that creates those social problems. I don't think any of us care if someone is sitting in their living room stoned on liquor, zoloft, marijuana or crack cocaine. Of course, once they step out of their living room, society has a right and a responsibility to insure that the social interaction of all people is safe and respectful. But, if society makes access to controlled substances illegal, it creates an entrepreneurial opportunity that poor people will use. There must be somewhere out of here, said the Joker to the Thief. There's too much confusion. I can't get no relief. Ed Felien (living with the same problem in) Powderhorn REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
