There's a huge meth problem around here. So because there are a lot of meth customers, that makes it okay?
Just because people buy porn and keep the shop open, it's okay, even if the majority of local citizenry don't want it there?
What's your point?
My belief is that drugs are a plague -- but the absolute worst of all the drugs is meth. I believe this not only because of the way that the drug impacts individuals' bodies, but because it targets those communities that can least afford the human, financial or emotional toll. I've made something of a study of meth. So, trust me on this point -- having lived through the crack days of NYC in the 1990s and comparing it to meth -- well, there is no comparison. Crack is like applesauce compared to meth. Luckily it hasn't really hit NYC yet, but it will.
You named two destructive influences in a small community. One legal and one illegal. A big city, like NY, can absorb both and keep functioning. A small town can't. It's up to the will of the population to fight back.
