ron paul has insinuated that and he is he desperately wrong. the doctor who prescribed those drugs for whitney houston had to know she was a drug addict. everybody knew that. yet, an m.d., apparently gave her powerful legal narcotics the same thing happened to michael jackson. estimated that 75% of all the child abuse and neglect in this country is caused by adults who are substance abusers. crime is driven by drug addicted people. inner city violence is driven by drug sellers. in mexico the drug cartels have almost taken over the entire country. when will society wake up? drugs are dangerous. not just to people like whitney houston, but to all of us. legalizing them will have all kinds of unintended consequences, especially for children. what happened to whitney houston is awful. i said a prayer for her last night. but her death should at least start people thinking and tony bennett should be first on that list followed byron paul.
