Street gangs are "selling death and misery in the form of heroin" It is a demand vs supply problem. Why is the demand for drugs so high? We've tried snuffing the supply and that doesn't work. If we could figure out the demand, then we can fix it. Why are so many Americans so miserable they need a drug to feel better? Even the poorest among us live better than kings of yore. We have hot water, clean water, electricity and abundant food. But we don't have purpose when we don't have jobs and work. Our families are in shambles because we pay girls to have children they don't want. Our welfare system pays people to sit at home, when it could just as easily pay people for a job well done.
