Oh, what a crazy world in which we live. In Vancouver, the police and government have decided to give away heroin. From a Fox News story:
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Just over the United States northwest border, addicts will soon be able to get their fix from the Canadian government in the form of free heroin administered by nurses and doctors on the taxpayer’s dime. “They’re using heroin. They’ll continue to use heroin. What we’re trying to do is prevent them from getting something irreversible like HIV, hepatitis C and overdose death,” said Dr. Martin Schechter, the director of the heroin program.
Wow. Will Vancouver see a surge in deadbeat population? Steve’s commentary on this:
Nice! First it was free condoms to high school and junior high students, then it was free needles to junkies, now free heroin to junkies. What’s next?
Free hookers to high schoolers?
“Well, they’re gonna have sex anyway. This will keep the teenage pregnancy rate down by giving them our state employed hookers who have been AIDS tested and are assured to be on the pill”
Free guns to gang-bangers?
“Well, they’re gonna get and use their guns anyway. This will reduce gun-stealing and weapons-dealing. Also, the guns we give will be checked out to make sure that they are not going to backfire on the user.”
Free bombs to terrorists?
“Well, they’re gonna bomb anyway. Why don’t we get rid of the risky bomb transporting market and arms dealers. This would also remove much of the border skirmish issues and allow us to make sure that the terrorists know what they are doing. A terrorist who doesn’t have adequate training on bomb handling and care could have a bad accident and cause problems for the surrounding neighbors, etc.”
Sheesh.
