Kailua contributor John Heidel believes “we need leadership … for the very real dangers of drug use. Rather than a military-style ‘war on drugs,’ we need a community-wide program of moral education.”

Rubbish!

We have not had the will to wage even a squirt gun fight on dope, certainly nothing even approaching a military-style ‘war on drugs.’

As for “moral education”, what a sorry joke.

Given this shambles, who is going to make ‘moral education’ anything but a joke.
