Amazing that an idea like this needs to be in an article in a newspaper.

Amazing that people can't simply intuit that taking drugs 'for recreation' is a deadly cancer on society.

Amazing that those who pretend to be our leaders legalized all this stuff, creating this underclass that the rest of us have to deal with.

Tremendous coup for the communists in their quest to dissolve the US.

The “homeless” were not known to be violent in years past.
