Take a look at Vancouver's poorest areas and see what not prosecuting the users does. The cops openly admit they won't prosecute the druggies, and they are all out on the streets, and it is easily the poorest neighbourhood in our country. Doing stuff like that just attracts more addicts. |
1. Never tied Bush to dropouts
2. Read what I posted before, kids drop out young so they can work and make money for the family. It all runs together, which is why, setting up some kind of fund, would help. Doesn't neccesarily have to be the government, but SOMEONE needs to begin a fund like that, like some type of charity.
It's hard to explain the way it is. I've been a part of it, and thankfully, I'm not anymore, I've been gone since a young age, but the people I left behind are still there, and I see what goes on anytime I go back to visit.
