                    [Summary] => 

Any candidate for next year's elections who does not take a very strong, explicit, and unequivocal stand against drugs should be rejected totally and uncompromisingly by the electorate, either because he or she is too naive as not to discern the grave and far-reaching implications of such an endemic malady, or, and this is worse, he or she is either funded by narcotics money or is the drug lord himself or herself. If the candidate is naive, then we do not need another incompetent political leader. If he is involved, then he should be exposed as the enemy of the people.
