Has anyone given the slightest thought to the idea that maybe, just maybe, this overdose epidemic is not such a bad thing? As those on the political left say, it is time to think critically. 

First who are the ones that are being taken out? University graduates? Hardly. Professionals? Nope. How about workers in our industries? Maybe some but a fraction. No, the ones that this is affecting are those on our social assistance roles, those that clog up our courts and fill up our penal institutions, the types that are those pesky panhandlers. You know them, those that could have cared less in school, were trouble  makers and disciplinary problems. 

So the cost, well yes emergency responders but hey lets look at a cost-benefit-analysis here. Overall this is saving our society big, bug bucks. It is like the moose hunt where we cull the herd. So let the hand wringers continue to wring and the do-gooders and bleeding hearts spout off. We can all relax and forget about it - no big deal.
