Well, there are fewer heroine addicts today than there were 20 years ago. And that is indeed a result of government programs to better educate people about drugs. It is also a result of government programs to reduce the flow of drugs into the country.
Whatever people are irresponsible about, the government can indeed influence that. The government cannot fix every single irresponsbile person. But when irresponsibility in a certain area becomes detrimental to society, it is the government's responsibility to step in and do what is necessary to protect the public from harm.

Last I checked, drugs weren't in check in the last 50 years.....go government. If you want to equate everything to government involvement, I feel sorry for ya.
Who the heck wants government telling you where and how to live? You are in favor, apparently, of colossal government....geez...you know they have that in Europe...tickets are cheap. You put a ton of faith in the government
