You can either do bootleg booze, perhaps laden with methanol, or you can choose Crown Royal. Make a choice.

Simply put, these girls made the wrong choice.

These girls didn't have the choice to do legal heroin, with controlled purity and dosage. So their death partly rests on the drug warriors for denying that choice. Few people choose bootleg, when you can go to the liquor store and pick up some Night Train. Methanol deaths are way down since Prohibition I ended.

Understand
In the scenerio I outlined above about the train crossing.

Local families are right now mourning the loss of 3 teenagers who got smacked by BNSF. Lights flashing, bells gates but they still tried to get across.

In the drug thing, the lights are also flashing, bells ringing etc. yet the girls took the risk and they paid.

This could easily be blamed on screwed up laws, drug dealers, whatever, but girls made the choice

You hold the minority view in this matter and, perhaps, in many other matters.

They should have followed the law and had a beer then.

This is just more darwin/chlorine in the gene pool.

They took the drugs.


They died.


Now you are in the "blame someone else game?"

Sure you shouldn't be over at DU with that attitude?
