“I know it is hard if the druggie is a friend or family member, but wouldn’t America be better off without them???”
You and Rodrigo Duterte would make great pals. He doesn’t sit around philosophizing about moral dilemmas — he just up and executes them (probably one of your fantasies).
If Duterte had been consistent, then I think that he would have succeeded. It will take drastic action to end drug addiction and drug sales. Nothing we are currently doing will work.
