This is in response to James H. Matson’s Nov. 8 letter to the editor, “Legalize marijuana.” In that letter, he says, “America imprisons more of its citizenry than any other country in the world. That fact makes me ashamed to be an American.”
Russia, China, North Korea and most other counties have laws against illegal drugs, and drunken driving also. Rather than through legalization, the better way to avoid jail is by not using “pot” or alcoholic beverages.

Allegheny County wants to place a 10 percent tax on alcohol. Drinkers interviewed on television’s “booze news” say they will go to Butler, Armstrong or one of the other surrounding counties to do their drinking.
Those opinions show just how stupid drunks are.
If a beer costs $2 in Butler County, it will cost $2.20 in Allegheny County.
Gas now costs more than $3 a gallon. Think how many beers a drinker would have to drink just to “break even” drinking in another county.
Then the drinker would risk getting a drunken-driving ticket.

I read Danny Shultz’s July 30 letter headlined “Clean up the drunks too” and felt compelled to make a few comments. The first comment is that credit should be given where credit is due.
Many people consider Shultz a single-issue fanatic with a propensity to babble incoherently. I say these people are looking at him and his literary contributions all wrong.
Shultz has spent a fortune denouncing drunks. He constantly has ads in the personals and contributes to the letters to the editor section, always targeting “drunks.”
My point is this:If ever there was a true child of an entity, then Shultz is the fruit of Mothers Against Drunk Driving’s proverbial loins. I have never seen such dogged determination and passion displayed over what is becoming more and more of a trivial non-issue.
For instance, five sober girls die in a fiery explosion because of a cell phone.
I think MADD should embrace Shultz as their poster boy and spokesperson. After all, he obviously is one of their strongest proponents.
Everything he writes is reminiscent of a MADD advertisement, and they should recognize and appreciate that in a forthright and public fashion.

In regard to the July 24 article “Child caught setting fires must clean up,” the same story could apply to drunks.
Underage drinkers and legal-age adult drinkers playing with beer, wine, whiskey or dope end up destroying property and mangling, maiming, injuring and killing themselves, friends, their own family members or others.
So let’s clean the slimy, stoned, smelly slugs up.

Why don’t we lock all gun owners, beer, wine and whiskey drinkers, illegal-drug users and slot machine gamblers in a closet or gun cabinet with their guns, booze, illegal drugs and slot machines and quarantine them, so the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention can study them.
We all can see how contagious they are.

**LOOK**
Look into this ad. Deeper! Deeper! You are getting tired. Sleep! Sleep!
You no longer want to drink beer, wine or whiskey. You no longer want to take illegal drugs.
From now on you will be sober + clean.
Now wake up after reading “You were a real pooper head.”

On the TV Guide Channel, there is a guy who hypnotizes people on the street. I have seen advertisements for hypnosis to stop smoking. Why not use hynosis in the way immunizations are used to prevent diseases.
Shouldn’t we try to keep children from starting to smoke? Wouldn’t it be better to get them to abstain from smoking rather than trying to get them to stop later in life?
If hypnosis can work, it could be used to get them to abstain from illegal drugs, alcohol, premarital sex, teasing and bullying, cheating, stealing or whatever.
The parent could be present during the hypnosis to make sure nothing improper occurs. The hypnosis could take place in a doctor’s office or in our schools. It could be taxpayer funded so all children could be part of it.
All of us could benefit from not having to pay for them to be treated — or the costs associated with jailing them later in life.

ONCE upon a time there was a red wine*eee nosed Booze newscaster. Every time she gave her red wine newscast her nose grew wine*ier & wine*ier.
Didn’t her Boozie researcher tell her she would have to drink more than a hundred glasses of red wine a day to live as long as a fat drunken Rat?
