Government money supporting youth crime

great idea: regulations. there are just not enough already. maybe time for the author to change from their morning coffee or religious group and discover the reality. utter ignorance to suggest 18-24 year olds are criminals being underwritten by govt. whether any in that age group use drugs is entirely their business – their body, their right. the vast majority of drug users, like drinkers, do so responsibly. they are able to study – wish the author would – work and look after themselves, and they are likely the most open minded, positively activist and aware generation we have known. they have inherited a mess…who are we to thank for that? are there losers presently in that age group? absolutely. however, the biggest losers that have and have had the greatest negative impact on our society and planet are not in that age group. those losers to whom i refer are the real low life taker-eogist-arrogant-selfish-and-self-serving, be they the far too many of our politicians, the way too overpaid and focus sucking pro entertainers and athletes, the ceos of the largest multinationals, the major “banker/investor/financiers”…and, all of them are more than old enough to know better. the premise of this letter is well off the mark, and, in a word, disgusting.
