While this is a rather discouraging report, it is by no means the end of the battle. Upon reading the article I think there we NEED to bombard Mr. Bob England with proof that people in this state want it to happen. That means taking the battle well outside the confines of RIU and to the STREETS!
I emailed Mr. England a couple weeks ago along with the other members of the Health committee, but I think now he needs some personal communications sent his way.
Also, Mr.(?) Winkie Wilkins of Person county needs to receive some information regarding addictive substances. There is plenty of literature out there citing the addictive qualities of their proposed alternative "prescription" drugs...how many people have been addicted to vicodin...?
If you go to the comments page, there is clearly some support there. Like this one...
"So as a police officer I have to tell you I have never been to a call that involved a person that was high beating there wife. I have been on hundreds of calls with a drunk husband beating there wife. So really how bad can it be? Also would you rather have me spending time writing up arrest reports on a couple of kids smoking, or have me patrolling your neighborhood looking for real crime, like someone robbing someone."

Maybe we should try to contact WRAL about getting some positive coverage of these delegations...they certainly have the resources to drum up support...

::you just have to have to laugh at all the BS, you know?
