The Ultimate Parochialism?
West Virginia Media Holdings stations in West Virginia feature Chris Stirewalt promoting a piece he is doing on how communities in West Virginia can protect themselves agains "big city drug dealers."To hear him tell it, these dealers from the big cities are at the heart of the drug problem and if we could somehow keep them out of West Virginia, we'd be OK.
Horse hockey!!!
They are here because West Virginians are the consumers of the drugs. No one forced anyone to use them.
I would remind Chris and everyone else that most of the meth is made in West Virginia and has no connection with "outsiders."
To solve the drug problem requires more than building a wall around West Virginia to keep dealers out. It requires working on the heart of the problem which is 100 percent a problem of addicts.
