Our state legislature wants to make it easier and healthier for drug addicts to indulge their habit. They are considering a bill to allow local health agencies to set up needle exchange programs to give druggies all the syringes they want. The proponents say these programs benefit the health of drug users, their children, and those they come in contact with. Now, Essie May doesn't have the smarts to be a legislator, but doesn't that sound an awful lot like giving an alcoholic a bottle? Isn't that what the substance abuse counselors call enabling? Anyway, Governor Perry opposes this stupidity. Score another one for him. I like him better all the time!
