Hey, Ed, about The Trentonian‘s Aug. 1 front page, I don‘t understand why these heroin addicts are getting needles for free when there are plenty of diabetics who can probably use free needles. It‘s more important they get them for free. I think somebody who is doing drugs, which are illegal, shouldn‘t get anything for free. They are going to die from heroin before AIDS kills them, anyway, so it‘s a waste.

You‘re trying to make sense out of something that goes beyond our usual sensibilities. Most people would say that the only thing a law-breaker should get for free is a ride to jail. I‘d say they should be charged for the ride, too.
